When is the most precipitation expected?

According to meteorologist Ivan Ristić, the most precipitation is expected on the night between Wednesday and Thursday.

Ristić told "Blic" that models are predicting a front that will bring a lot of rain.

"We are expecting a large amount of rain on the night between Wednesday and Thursday. A front is coming, we are not expecting a storm, but precipitation of 20 liters or more per square meter. That will benefit crops and there will be significantly less chance of fires. After the rainy night, on July 17th it will be noticeably cooler, the temperature will drop to around 23-24 degrees, and then we will see an increase in maximum temperatures again," says Ivan Ristić.

Meteorologist Marko Čubrilo also announced the penetration of a cold front between Wednesday and Thursday.

"On Wednesday evening, a cloudy zone will arrive from the northwest, which is linked to a cold front and will bring thunderstorms as well as local weather events, first to the northwest of the region. Over most of the region, it will be noticeably cooler with maximums of 17 to 24 degrees Celsius, still warm in the south until the evening, when it will cool down," said Čubrilo.
