Hellish Weather Storms in Serbia: Gale Winds, Hail, and Downpours That Will Blow You Away!
Brace yourselves, Serbia! The mid-July weather forecast is bringing a storm straight from hell! The Republic Hydrometeorological Institute (RHMZ) warns of intense thunderstorms with heavy rain expected during the evening and night towards Thursday, hitting Serbia hard, especially Vojvodina and western regions.
What exactly is coming?
Evening and nighttime hours will bring locally intense downpours accompanied by hail, strong or even gale-force winds, and a massive amount of rainfall between 20 to 40 millimeters in a short time. Yes, you read that right – up to 40 millimeters of rain can fall in just an hour or two, which can cause serious problems in traffic and daily life.
Which areas are most affected?
Vojvodina and western Serbia will be the hardest hit, while the zone of intense showers will shift towards the south and east of the country on Thursday. Belgrade will also be affected – expect partly cloudy weather with longer sunny periods, but also local showers and thunderstorms, especially in the evening when rainfall will intensify and temperatures will drop to around 19 to 21 degrees Celsius.
Temperature rollercoaster
Morning temperatures will range from 16 to 21 degrees, while daytime highs will vary from a pleasant 27 degrees in the north to as high as 34 degrees in the south and east of Serbia. But don’t be fooled – by Thursday, noticeably cooler weather will arrive, especially in the north where it will mostly be dry, while showers and thunderstorms will be more intense in the south and east.
What’s next?
Friday will bring variable weather with sunny intervals and local showers, while the weekend and early next week will be mostly sunny with a sharp rise in temperatures – expect scorching 35 to 38 degrees! But don’t worry, a new cool down with passing clouds and brief rain is expected on Tuesday.
RHMZ and meteorologists on alert
RHMZ announced that emergency weather warnings will be issued one to two hours in advance, so be ready to follow the news and don’t let the storm catch you off guard. Meteorologist Ivan Ristić has urged city services to clean drains and sewage systems to prevent flooding due to heavy rainfall.
Why does this matter?
Such weather disasters are not just inconvenient – they can cause serious traffic problems, damage property, and even threaten people’s safety. Hail, gale-force winds, and heavy rains can create chaos, and Serbia is in the path of these weather hazards.
How to prepare?
Be ready for sudden weather changes. Keep umbrellas and raincoats handy, avoid unnecessary travel during the heaviest downpours, and follow official weather forecasts and warnings. If you’re driving, be cautious and reduce speed – slippery roads and poor visibility are no joke.
