Today many storm ocurred in Croatia. The day was extremly hot. Some place reached all time may record, even to 33°C. In the afternoon hours the development of clouds started over Dinaridi mountains because of the influence of cyclen over SE Europe & eastern Balkans.

For an example a super cell storm developed over Slavonije (that's eastern part of Croatia) bringing 70mm of rain in only few hours, large hail and much damage:

The possibility of storms for Adriatic coast region was little but the huge storm happend. The line of stormy cbs developed over coastal mountains of southern and central Dalmatia. My town of Split had it's 'private' storm cloud. After 4PM a large hail started, almost only hail without rain. Some hail stones were of a size of lemon. The temperature went down from 30 to 22°C in one hour. This is a satellyte, you can see a little but stormy cloud over central dalmatia:
