Croatia has been washed away by downpours. Water rolled through the split, giant hail fell

According to local meteorologists in Split and its surroundings, about 65 liters of water per square meter have fallen from the sky in the last few hours, while the average for the whole of August is 39 liters, ie about half. That is why it is not surprising that the Dalmatian metropolis was hit by flash floods, he writes portal Slobodna Dalmacija.

Meteorologists also warned that rain and showers are expected at night from Friday to Saturday and during Saturday. Heavy rains on Friday caused serious traffic problems in the city, and due to the large volume of water in the streets, it was said to be almost impossible to get from one end of the city to the other.

According to portal Dalmatia Today the sewer was so flooded that at least at one point a pressurized stream of water shot up the canal cover. There was an estimated half a meter of water in the streets in places.

In the area, in some places, hailstones of about the size of plums fell, which damaged cars or orchards. The meteorologists’ rain warning is valid for eastern Croatia on Saturdays, writes dnevnik.hr.

In addition, on Friday evening, a significant air vortex appeared near the town of Varaždin, which lies in the northeast of the country near the Hungarian and Slovenian borders. However, it is not clear whether he did any damage.
