Sažetak
Settled in the mid latitudes (460) of the Northern Hemisphere (European hail belt), Croatia is exposed to the frequent occurrence of severe thunderstorms, especially in the continental part, between the Drava and Sava rivers. Hail is also frequent with a high possibility of doing heavy damage in agricultural production and on mobile and immobile properties. On the basis of 25 years (1981-2005) observed hail and damage data are collected from main meteorological and hail suppression stations, spatial distribution maps are made to show the most frequent areas with hail and damage. Result of analysis shows areas with maximum days with hail that is in western (hilly) part of the continental Croatia. The flat middle and eastern parts has the minimum days with hail in the season (01.5. - 30.09.) Areas near orographyc obstacles are connected with higher frequencies of hail and heavy damage. Data analysis shows two especially exposed areas in continental part of Croatia, the whole western part, and area around Požega valley. These maps can be used as a basis for planning different prevention’ s methods (insurance, mechanical protection, etc.).
