The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) has issued yellow warnings for strong winds across four key areas in northern Croatia. This alert covers the Kvarner, the Veliki Kanal, and the Istrian coast, where strong winds are expected, potentially causing minor disruptions to daily life and transport.
In the Kvarner and the Veliki Kanal, the yellow warning for strong winds is in effect throughout the day. Specifically, the period from 23 August at 00:01 to 23:59 on 23 August is subject to these meteorological conditions. Visitors and residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution, particularly in exposed coastal areas and open spaces.
For the Istrian coast, the warning period is slightly shorter. The yellow alert is active from midnight on 23 August until 11:00 on the same day. This means that strong winds will be most pronounced in the morning, with the situation gradually easing by midday.
In the Rijeka region, the situation is similar to that in Istria, but with an earlier end to the warning. The yellow warning for strong winds is valid from 00:01 on 23 August until 09:00. The early morning is therefore the most critical period for residents of Rijeka and the surrounding area, after which weather conditions are expected to normalise.
