RHMZ warns of heat up to 40 C, fire risk, and a sharp weather change
On June 30, RHMZ and national media warn of June's last extremely hot day: Serbia is expected to see 36-40 C, Belgrade around 38 C, and the long dry spell raises outdoor fire risk. Temperatures should fall to 32-35 C on Wednesday and below 30 C in many places from Thursday, but the transition may bring downpours, strong or storm-force wind, and hail, first in the north and west and then across the rest of Serbia.

Tropical temperatures on June's last day: up to 40 C
(Tropske temperature poslednjeg junskog dana: Do 40 stepeni, ekstremno povoljni uslovi za požare)
N1 relays the RHMZ forecast: on June 30 Serbia will be sunny and very hot, with highs of 36-40 C and Belgrade around 38 C. Tomorrow should bring 32-35 C, and from Thursday many places should fall below 30 C. Because of the long dry period and high temperatures, conditions for outdoor fires starting and spreading will be extremely favorable, especially where soil-moisture deficits are greatest and there has been no recent rain. On Wednesday evening and overnight into Thursday in the north and west, and on Thursday in the rest of Serbia, downpours, strong or storm-force wind, and hail are possible.
