NounVerbAdjective

Sun
(sjati)

Cloud
(naoblačiti se)
It clouded over in five minutes!

Rain
(kišiti)

Snow
(sniježiti)

Fog

Wind

There are additional words or phrases which can be used as well. Since some of those are adjectives, it is important to have prior knowledge of forming adjectives according to the three grammatical categories. Here is the wordlist:

→ overcast

→ inland

→ morning temperature

→ day temperature

→ temperature

→ mostly

→ weak

→ strong

→ degree

→ severe weather

→ low

→ high

→ hot

If you're already learning vocabulary to understand weather forecasts, it will probably also come in handy to learn something about telling the time in Croatian.
