Zagreb, Croatia’s inland capital, receives around 900 mm (about 35 inches) of rain a year, with a fairly even spread across the seasons and a modest early-summer peak from convective storms typical of the wider Pannonian and Alpine-influenced region. The Sava river running through the city has a history of flooding during periods of sustained heavy rain, prompting significant flood-defense investment over the decades, most notably after severe flooding in the 1960s that reshaped how the city manages the river today. Faster, more localized summer storms remain a separate, more routine hazard. Because both risks matter but operate differently, radar is most useful for tracking the faster local storms. Croatia’s national meteorological service, DHMZ, operates the radar network.
