At Zagreb’s Grič weather station temperatures of 19 °C were recorded on Saturday, making It the warmest in 90 years when on 19 November 1926 temperatures at Grič were recorded at 19.7 °C.

If forecasters are correct, then this week there will be parts of Croatia that will see temperatures never experienced before for this time of the year.

It is not only the air temperature which is warm, sea temperature in Dubrovnik was a warm 20 °C, whilst it was 19 °C at Komiža, Lastovo and Hvar. Swim anyone?
