It is going to be a very wet and windy day in the wider Dubrovnik region as strong south winds have brought with them storms.

The Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service has issued an orange weather warning for thunderstorms for the south of Croatia and the city has awoken to torrential rains and foreboding grey skies. It will not be cold, as when the south winds blow the temperatures remain mild, and today highs will reach 16 degrees. But it will be wet and grey for most of the day.

The weekend should be a completely different story with blue skies and sunshine and more importantly no rain. On Saturday highs will be around 13 degrees as the wind direction changes to a northerly one, and then on Sunday around 14 degrees with some scattered clouds.
