Croatia braces for first heatwave.

The State Meteorological Institute has issued a heatwave warning. 

The first day covered by the warning is Thursday. 

 Moderate danger is expected across the country, except for the wider Gospić region. However, conditions will worsen on Friday, with a severe heatwave warning for most of Croatia. Only the wider Gospić, Knin, and Rijeka regions will have a moderate warning.

 Severe Weather has forecasted high temperatures and the heat dome effect.

 Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-to-high 30s in many countries and could potentially exceed 40°C for the first time this summer. 

 The most significant temperature anomalies are predicted for central Europe and the Balkan Peninsula, according to Severe Weather. 

 This week, temperatures in central Europe, the Balkans, and eastern Europe are forecasted to range from the mid-30s to over 40°C.
