Imagine this: while Croatia is roasting under temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius, especially in Zagreb, Osijek, and Karlovac where a red weather alert is in effect, chaos is brewing on the streets! Yes, you read that right. While you sweat and seek shade, meteorologists warn of possible thunderstorms hitting central Croatia, particularly the northern parts and the northern Adriatic coast. Temperatures in the interior of Dalmatia reach a scorching 36 degrees, and the bora wind on the Adriatic will only add to the mayhem. But wait, there’s more! Zagreb is bracing for a total traffic meltdown from July 4th to 6th due to the Marko Perković Thompson concert. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) warns of heavy traffic jams on highways A1, A2, A3, A4, and the city bypass, with city streets flooded with vehicles and pedestrians, plus temporary traffic regulations that will make moving around a nightmare. Planning to travel during this time? Think again or prepare for hours of waiting. All this while temperatures won’t drop below 28 degrees, with morning lows between 18 and 26 degrees. So, as you battle the heat, get ready for traffic chaos and possible storms that will only complicate things further. And if you think this is overhyped, check out the DHMZ and HAK websites — no room for fake news there! Now, if you love complaining about heat and traffic jams, drop a comment below. Maybe we can all share a laugh while stuck in traffic or hunting for shade under storm clouds.
