The lowest air temperature during the night and morning will be around 21 °C, and during the day around 35 °C”, the meteorologist pointed out.
It will also be hot and humid in central Croatia, where the temperature will mostly not drop below 22 °C even at night.
“The mountainous region of Croatia is the only one with the lowest expected temperature below 20 °C. The night will be very warm in the northern Adriatic region. It will be hot everywhere during the day, with an afternoon 35 °C in the shade of the weather house. Some refreshment can be found in the relatively warm sea”, she explained.
“Real summer heat is expected in Dalmatia as well, with the highest level of warning for a heat wave that can affect health in effect. The series of very warm nights and hot and very hot days continues, and there will be almost no wind”, said the meteorologist.
DHMZ has issued a red alert for the Rijeka, Dubrovnik and Split regions for Friday. Knin and Gospić regions are under an orange alert, and the rest of Croatia was issued a yellow alert.
Weekend Weather in croatia
The weekend on the Adriatic will continue to be sunny and very hot with light winds. With Monday and a moderate to strong southerly wind, a change will arrive in the north of the Adriatic region, more likely in the second part of the day and especially on Tuesday night.
“The change in weather in Croatia at the beginning of the new week and in the interior will bring a light refreshment, then an end to the heat. Locally stronger showers are likely – starting in the west – so in addition to heat warnings, there will also be warnings of possible storms” explained the meteorologist.
