Sažetak
In the continental part of Croatia operational hail suppression has been conducted more then 30 years. The
protected area is between Sava, Drava and Mura rivers and is part of Panonian basin. In the neighbouring Slovenia, very close to the western border of protected area, are mountains such as Pohorje, Haloze that are eastern ends of Alps, and also mountains in Croatia - Ivančica, Ravna Gora, Strahinčica, Plešivica, Medvednica and Kalnik, all with top heights of about 400 to 1100 m above mean sea level. The mountains in the eastern part of protected area, Psunj, Krndija, Papuk and Dilj are connected with above mentioned in the western part through relative lower mountain – Bilogora. The analysis shows influence of orography, especially in the western part with some greater mountains. This influence is seen in a greater number of days with hail and small hail in a hilly terrain and in a shorter average
duration of a hailfall in the lee side of the mountains.
