History
[edit]On 27 December 2023 at 11:56 the ŽVOC Rijeka received a call about a house fire in Parg, Štimci. The fire was caused by a gas explosion that injured the owner and a woman. It was put out at 12:55 by DVD Čabar.[3]
Climate
[edit]Parg has a cool and wet humid continental climate (Dfb) due to its geographical position in the Gorski kotar region of Croatia, facing the Adriatic Sea. It's much cooler than either the coast or inland Croatia because of its elevation of 863 m above sea level.
Since records began in 1951, the highest temperature recorded at the local weather station was 35.6 °C (96.1 °F), on 4 August 2017.[4] The coldest temperature was −23.2 °C (−9.8 °F), on 10 February 1956.[5]
