The hellish heatwave is in full swing, and Serbia is melting under temperatures soaring up to 39 degrees Celsius! The Republic Hydrometeorological Institute of Serbia (RHMZ) has issued an orange weather alert nationwide due to dangerously high temperatures. Yesterday marked the hottest day of early summer with temperatures ranging from 34 to 37 degrees, and today promises to be even hotter. Belgrade will be the epicenter of the heat, with thermometers hitting between 36 and 39 degrees — nearly at the extreme limit. But don’t panic just yet, relief is on the way — by Friday, temperatures are expected to drop by 5 to 8 degrees, accompanied by passing clouds and local thunderstorms. However, the misery doesn’t end there — extreme drought continues to grip much of Serbia, with very low rainfall levels seriously threatening crops. RHMZ warns that the moisture deficit in the soil will negatively impact plant development, especially during sensitive growth phases. The next heatwave is forecast for Sunday, mainly affecting the Bačka region, while other parts of Serbia will be spared, though temperatures will remain high. So brace yourselves for another scorching blast and an ongoing battle with relentless drought. If you thought summer was just about sun and relaxation, think again — this summer will make you question whether you’re in a desert or Serbia. How are you coping with this heat?
