- This will happen more and more in the future. We can expect small tornados, like the one we recently recorded in Gradiska. We can blame climate changes for this, the change of energetic balance in the atmosphere and our geographical position. Wind blows can be stronger than ever recorded, especially in places of higher altitude - said Goran Trbic, the dean of Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Banja Luka and a member of the Climate Expert Team, "Nezavisne" writes.

According to the meteorologist Nebojsa Kustrinovic, two national climate reports have been produced so far that indicated that wind intensity in this area will increase, which was confirmed by three small tornadoes which hit Prijedor, Maglajane and Popovo Field in the previous years. 

- The wind with hurricane strength will weaken during the morning, it will be moderate, mostly blowing from northern directions - stated Igor Kovacic, meteorologist of the Republic Hydrometeorological Institute.

He mentions that the current front will bring massive rainfall, about 20 to 30 liters of rain per square meter.
