Week 10 - Extreme Weather

Croatia typically has a Mediterranean climate which consists of hot, dry, and sunny weather. It is mild along the coast and has a cool winter. I could imagine that it is similar to that of the Monterey coast. 

The interior of Croatia can get colder than that of the coast. Temperatures fall below 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit. Snow is common and can be heavy during the winter. Since the winters are a bit more extreme than the coast so are the summers. They can be sweltering according to visit-croatia.co.uk. The high 80s or low 90s Fahrenheit are common, and there is usually no breeze at all. Air conditioning is common in Croatia. This helps keep people cool during the summer. 


There is also an infamous aspect of Croatian weather called the 'bura'. The Bura is a strong north-easterly wind that blows towards the coastline. It normally occurs during winter, and near the mountain range. Wind speeds can reach over 125 miles per hour.
