A severe summer storm struck the Adriatic port city of Split, Croatia, on Tuesday, causing widespread damage and injuries. The storm brought heavy rain, strong winds, and hail, which uprooted trees and damaged roofs. At least 24 people were reported injured during the event. The storm also caused a ferry to break its moorings, resulting in a collision with an empty tourist boat that subsequently sank. The weather system affecting Split is part of a mesoscale storm pattern moving toward Romania. Similar intense storms were also reported in Novi Beograd, Serbia, and Chongqing, China, on the same day. In Italy, the storm contributed to the death of one woman. The extreme weather followed a recent heatwave in southern Europe.
