Serbia Braces for Evening Thunderstorms After Hot Summer Day

Serbia is set for a significant weather change as a true summer day with temperatures reaching up to 31 degrees Celsius is expected to give way to thunderstorms and heavy rain by evening. The Republic Hydrometeorological Service has issued warnings about the impending shift.

Starting around 5 PM to 9 PM, a line of thunderstorms is predicted to form, initially over Vojvodina. This system is expected to bring showers, thunder, and lightning, with the potential for local hail and gusty winds exceeding 60 km/h. The storm system is then forecast to move across Belgrade, western Serbia, Šumadija, Pomoravlje, and the Bor and Zaječar districts before heading towards Romania and Bulgaria. Rainfall is expected to weaken overnight.

The current drop in air pressure signals the arrival of a cold front from Central Europe, which will reach northern Serbia by the end of the day. Despite the approaching change, the earlier part of the day will remain sunny and warm. Looking ahead to Monday and Tuesday, cooler temperatures are expected, accompanied by intermittent showers and thunderstorms, especially in the northern, western, and southwestern parts of the country. By Wednesday, sunny and warmer conditions are anticipated to return across all regions.
