On June 27th, in the center of Bajina Bašta, a strong wind uprooted a large leafy tree that fell right in the middle of the street. Luckily, there were no pedestrians or cars around at the time, so no one was injured. The responsible services quickly responded and removed the tree from the road. The wind was blowing throughout the Zlatibor district in the afternoon, but the biggest damage was caused in Bajina Bašta. Although locals in nearby villages were hoping for rain due to meteorologists’ forecasts, no precipitation occurred in the evening. Meanwhile, the hottest city in Europe was Aydin, Turkey, with 40.6 degrees Celsius, while globally the hottest was Kuwait at 49.6 degrees. Meteorologists warn that strong winds will continue in the coming days, with possible storm gusts in the northern and eastern parts of the country. This incident in Bajina Bašta is yet another reminder of how unpredictable and dangerous nature can be, especially in summer when weather disasters are becoming more frequent.
