The Siberian start to 2017 in Dubrovnik has brought snow and ice to many parts of the Dubrovnik County. Konavle, Pelješac and the Dubrovnik hinterland are under a white blanket of snow as freezing temperatures continue to dominate the weather. And more snow and even colder temperatures are on the way. Currently it is around 2 degrees in Dubrovnik with zero degrees expected overnight, and then Friday will see the polar front hit Dubrovnik with – 2 to – 6 degrees predicted.

The roads of the county are relatively clean and snow ploughs have been out since this morning cleaning the snow as well as spreading salt for the ice. Drivers have been warned not to travel tomorrow unless necessary.

And due to the gale force northerly winds the Dubrovnik Bridge has been closed for most of the day. Dubrovnik Airport is also closed to all flights and passengers travelling to Dubrovnik are landing at Split Airport and then continuing their journeys by buses.
