As the meteorologist Marko Cubilo sai, from today until Friday, one of the strongest hot waves in the last 5-6 years will follow.

"It will be extremely warm, the peak of that heat is waiting on Thursday. Only in some places, there will be rare showers and local storms. On Friday afternoon, destabilization and refreshment woll intensify, which will bring a maximum below 30 degrees for the weekend.

"Starting today, further warming will follow with maximums that will first be around +35, and on Thursday very often around +37 degrees Celsius in the shade! There are great chances that the maximum will reach around +40 degrees Celsius in some places locally on Thursday or Friday," says Cubrilo.

Tomorrow afternoon, in some places, mostly over the central and eastern areas, there may be isolated, but strong thunder showers.

"There is a slightly lower chance of showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, when it will most likely be dry everywhere, while on Thursday the overheating of the atmosphere could bring local destabilization during the second part of the day over most of the region, except in the south and along the Adriatic.

More concrete destabilization with heavier thunder showers and weather conditions will follow on Friday afternoon in the north and northwest of the region.

"During the next weekend, the weather will be warm, but more pleasant, with maximums from +24 to +29, and only in the east and south, sometimes up to +31 degrees Celsius. Until the weekend, the nights will be very warm, often 'tropical"' while the weekend will be cooler, especially in the west of the region," says Cubrilo.

Nedeljko Todorović: Less precipitation this summer

Meteorologist Nedeljko Todorovic said that seven days ago, the maximum temperature did not reach even 20 degrees, and now it is higher by almost 15 degrees. Those changes, he says, are a characteristic of our climate.

At the end of this and the beginning of next month, it should be cooler, but still summer time will have moderate peaks and occasional thunder showers.

According to the meteorologists, weather will be warm in July. According to Todorovic, the whole summer will be warmer than average with less precipitation.

"This year, already in June, we'll have a lack of precipitation, a third of the average amount of precipitation has fallen in Belgrade so far, that is the trend by the end of the month. Probably just like in July. Showers have the property that in half an hour or an hour, both the half-monthly and monthly amount of precipitation can fall somewhere," Todorovic told RTS.

The meteorologist advise citizens not to be in the sun all day and to stay in the shade.
