On Saturday, the first snow showers began to fall in Delnice, a town located in Gorski Kotar, marking the start of winter conditions in the area. A reader who was driving through Delnice sent a video of the snowy scenes to the N1info editorial team, witnessing the change in weather conditions.
Delnice is part of the Gorski Kotar region, known for its mountain climate, a fact confirmed by the local forecast which predicts cloudy weather with the possibility of light snowfall during Saturday. Although the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service (DHMZ) does not specifically highlight Delnice in its forecast, it announces mostly cloudy weather for the entire Gorski Kotar and Lika regions.
DHMZ warns that small amounts of rain are locally possible in Gorski Kotar and Lika, while snow is expected in the highest parts of the mountain range. Temperatures in the area are expected to range between 4 and 8 degrees Celsius, which is consistent with the first signs of winter that have appeared in Delnice.
These weather conditions indicate the beginning of a colder period in the Gorski Kotar region, where snowfall is common in the winter months. Residents and visitors to Delnice can expect winter conditions to continue, especially in the higher areas of Gorski Kotar and Lika.
