Residents of Split faced another merciless tropical night this weekend. According to data from meteorological stations, the air temperature at 4 a.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2026, was already 28.7°C, with a feels-like temperature of 30°C. Even sunset didn't bring the desired refreshment, as the temperature held at a high 30.7°C at midnight.
The lowest daily temperature of 28.1°C is expected around 6 a.m., meaning even the coolest part of the day won't offer real relief. Relative humidity in the early morning hours will be around 51 percent, with winds blowing at approximately 9.4 kilometers per hour. The sun rose at 5:52 a.m., and by 9 a.m., the temperature had already climbed to 30.5°C.
By 11 a.m., the mercury will reach 33°C, and between noon and 6 p.m., temperatures will range from 33.5 to 34°C. The daily high of 34°C is expected in the late afternoon, when the heat index will reach 35.5°C. Winds will strengthen during the afternoon to 16-20.5 kilometers per hour, which will only slightly ease the mugginess.
The sky will remain completely clear all day, with no cloud cover to briefly shield the sun. The chance of precipitation stays at zero percent. The UV index will climb to a high 7.15, so spending time outdoors midday without sunscreen and seeking shade is strongly discouraged.
The sun sets at 8:06 p.m., but the temperature will still be around 32°C. An hour later, around 9 p.m., it's expected to be 30.4°C, and around 10 p.m., approximately 29.8°C. An unexpected twist comes at 11 p.m., when the temperature rises again to 30.4°C, reaching 30.7°C by midnight. After 7 p.m., winds will suddenly weaken, so by 9 p.m., they'll be barely noticeable at 2.2 kilometers per hour.
These conditions are particularly dangerous for vulnerable groups-the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and young children. Experts recommend staying well-hydrated, wearing light clothing, and avoiding strenuous physical activity during the hottest part of the day.
Monday won't bring any change either. It will be clear and dry, with a low of 28.4°C and a high of 34.2°C. Stronger winds will pick up again in the afternoon, easing by evening.
From Tuesday, further warming is expected. Tuesday's high is forecast at 37°C, Wednesday at 37.9°C, and Thursday around 37°C, with only a very slight chance of precipitation. Temperatures will continue to climb toward 38°C. No significant cooldown is in sight, so the heatwave will mark much of the new week as well.
