Most of Croatia yesterday coped a passing front which in areas brought hail, thunder, and lightning.

A shelf cloud is a low, horizontal, wedge-shaped arcus cloud which is attached to the base of the parent cloud and is usually a thunderstorm which was the case over Losinj on Monday.

Puncet, who is a passionate ‘storm’ photographer, also recorded a timelapse.
