Hellish Heatwave in Serbia: Ćuprija Sizzles at 39°C, What’s Next?
Today, Ćuprija was hands down the hottest city in Serbia, scorching at a blistering 39 degrees Celsius! Yes, you read that right – 39! According to the RHMZ forecast, temperatures across the country will hit between 35 and 40 degrees, with the sun showing no mercy. Winds are light to moderate, but in the evening, Vojvodina might see some strong northern and northwestern gusts.
Hell on Earth – and it’s not over yet!
This hellish heatwave isn’t just a one-day nightmare. Forecasts say that by mid-next week, temperatures will stay high, ranging from 34 to 38 degrees, with some spots flirting with 40 again! Local showers and thunderstorms are possible only in the mountainous areas of the southwest and southeast, and even then, they’ll be rare and short-lived.
Weather changes are expected only on Tuesday and Wednesday, but don’t expect relief – it’ll be partly cloudy with local showers and thunderstorms, mostly in the hills. Thursday brings back mostly sunny and moderately warm weather, with possible brief showers.
Is this the new normal?
As Serbia fries under temperatures once reserved for deserts, the big question is – are we ready for these climate conditions? How do we cope with these heatwaves that drive us crazy? Doctors advise dressing appropriately and preparing your body for extreme conditions, but is that really enough?
Heat and social injustice
While temperatures soar, many Serbian citizens struggle with everyday problems – from pricier markets to inadequate living conditions. As Ćuprija bakes at 39 degrees, some people still live in forgotten conditions, lacking basic necessities.
The bottom line?
Serbia is literally on fire! While we wait to see if the weather forecast will bring relief, maybe it’s time to ask ourselves – what are we doing with our country, and how will we survive these hellish heatwaves?
If you’re already sweating just reading this, share your thoughts – is this the end of the world or just the beginning? Who knows, maybe your story will cool down this heat!
