Unstable Start to June, Then Heat Above 35 Degrees
What weather is coming in early June? A rainy, unstable start with thunder and hail, then alternating warm and wet days, and finally heat above 35 by month's end.
- Monday, June 1, is the most unstable day, with thunder, heavy rain, hail and gusty winds from midday on.
- The weekend brings calmer skies, with temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees.
- Meteorologist Ivan Ristic expects warm and wet spells to alternate almost until the start of summer.
- Late June brings stabilization and heat above 35 degrees under a heat dome.
What weather is coming in early June? In short: pack an umbrella, but do not put your summer clothes away, because the heat is on its way. The Republic Hydrometeorological Service (RHMZ) is forecasting a rainy, unstable start to the month, and after a few days of switching between clouds and sun, real summer heat moves in.
The start of the week looks stormy. The most unstable day is Monday, June 1, when thunder, heavy rain, hail in places and gusty winds are expected from midday on. After that the weather gradually settles, and by the weekend it climbs to a pleasant 25 to 30 degrees.
What exactly does the first week of June bring?
The forecast for the next few days calls for a little patience and a solid plan B for anything you have lined up outdoors. Here is how to map out the week.
- Monday, June 1: the most unstable day, with thunder, heavy rain, scattered hail and gusty winds from midday on.
- Midweek: frequent showers, in places dropping 30 to 50 liters per square meter, enough to soak the streets fast.
- Weekend: calmer skies, temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees, just right for coffee on a terrace without breaking a sweat.
Meteorologist Ivan Ristic expects the coming period to swing sharply between fine and unstable days. Sunny days will bring 31 to 35 degrees, rainy ones 26 to 31, while nights stay comfortable at around 15 to 20 degrees. This is the kind of weather where checking the forecast day by day pays off, because plans for a day trip can shift easily.
The pattern of two fine days followed by two or three unstable ones will hold almost until the start of summer.
When does heat above 35 degrees arrive?
The real summer turn waits for us near the end of June. According to Ristic’s forecast, after weeks of sun and rain trading places, the weather stabilizes and a so-called heat dome moves over the region, bringing heat above 35 degrees. The average June temperature for Belgrade is around 28.4 degrees, so the end of the month will feel noticeably warmer than usual.
For anyone who struggles with the heat, here is a practical tip from everyday use: while the unstable stretch lasts, use every sunny day for longer activities outdoors, and save the hottest days at the end of June for morning and evening walks. Keep water with you, and stay in the shade through midday.
How are you planning the first month of summer, waiting out the showers or counting down to heat above 35?
