Scorching Heatwave in Serbia: Brace Yourself for Temperatures up to 40°C!
Today, Serbia is facing a real summer madness! The Republic Hydrometeorological Institute forecasts mostly sunny and warmer weather with temperatures climbing up to 33 degrees Celsius. But that’s just the warm-up for what’s coming in the next days.
Sun blazing, clouds playing hide and seek
Most parts of Serbia will enjoy sunny weather today, with light west and northwest winds. However, brief rain showers may appear in the east, and local thunderstorms with showers are expected overnight towards Sunday in Vojvodina and Podrinje. So if you planned to cool off outdoors, better have a backup plan.
A new heatwave is coming – and it’s a scorcher!
The real drama starts next week when the heatwave intensifies. Temperatures will soar to a blistering 35 to 40 degrees, especially in the south and east of Serbia. Yes, you read that right – up to 40 degrees! Cities like Niš, Leskovac, and Vranje will literally be boiling.
Belgrade won’t be spared
The capital city won’t escape either. A daily high around 31 degrees is expected, enough to make you feel like you’re in an oven. The light wind won’t bring relief, and the sun will relentlessly scorch. If you plan to go out, make sure to bring water and a hat because the sun won’t take a break.
What does this mean?
This heatwave is not just an inconvenience – it’s a serious challenge for health and daily life. High temperatures can lead to dehydration, heatstroke, and worsening of chronic illnesses. Elderly people and children are especially vulnerable. Also, such weather increases the risk of fires and puts extra strain on the power grid due to increased air conditioner use.
Are we ready?
Despite meteorologists’ warnings, many still ignore the advice. Air conditioners are running full blast, and people move around without proper protection. Is this a time to enjoy or panic? Maybe a bit of both.
Conclusion
Serbia is gearing up for one of the hottest summer spells in recent years. Temperatures up to 40 degrees are no joke and require serious preparation. So, dear readers, don’t forget to drink plenty of water, avoid direct sun during the hottest part of the day, and take care of your health.
