An urgent warning has been issued by the Republic Hydrometeorological Institute (RHMZ) for a specific part of Serbia, anticipating severe weather conditions within the next two hours. Residents in the Bačka region, particularly between Crvenka and Bački Petrovac, should prepare for intense thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall and the potential for hail.
The RHMZ's alert highlights the immediate threat posed by these localized, yet powerful, weather phenomena. The institute advises caution as these conditions develop rapidly in the specified area.
Looking beyond the immediate forecast, the outlook for the remainder of the week and the start of next week suggests a significant shift towards warmer and sunnier conditions. Most areas are expected to experience predominantly sunny skies, with temperatures gradually rising. By the weekend, and continuing into Monday and Tuesday, the mercury is predicted to climb significantly, with daily highs in most locations reaching between 35 and 38 degrees Celsius.
While the general trend is warming, there is a possibility of brief rain showers or thunderstorms in some higher-altitude areas of southern and southeastern Serbia due to localized cloud development. However, these are expected to be isolated events, contrasting with the more widespread and intense weather predicted for Bačka.
