Croatian marine meteorological service is a modern
service based on the maritime tradition, the science of
meteorology, technology and telecommunications.
Our basic objective is protection and safety of human
lives and navigation at sea as well as of numerous
activities going on on seas, islands and littoral.

The Marine Meteorological Service in the Adriatic was
established in 1860.
First meteorological station began with its work in
Dubrovnik in 1851.
It is important to state that the meteorological data from
the station Hvar were included into the European
international data exchange already in 1857 when the
meteorological station Hvar was established.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Croatian marine meteorological service in the
WMO Scheme of Voluntary Observing Ships
participates with 47 ships belonging to
Croatian shipping companies and with 5000
ship reports with about 1500 OBS METEO
reports (30 %).
CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
Ship meteorological stations will play the
major and very important role in the global
observation system and remain irreplacable
and the most reliable source of
meteorological data from the huge sea
areas.
Red sky at night, Sailors’ delight:
Red sky in morning, Sailors’ warning.
Većernje rumenilo, očekuje se lijepo vrijeme:
jutarnje rumenilo, kiša se približava.
Rosso di sera, bel tempo si spera: rosso di mattina, pioggia si avvicina.
For our observer’s we have a motto: You are the only who know the weather
conditions at your position. Therefore, please send your meteorological report.
