Warmer Sunday with storms, sharp cooldown by Thursday
New RHMZ forecast for the first half of the week: warmer days with local thunderstorms and a yellow alert, then sunshine up to 31 degrees before a sharp drop on Thursday.
- Sunday, June 7: mostly sunny in the north and west, changeable elsewhere with local showers, highs up to 30 degrees.
- RHMZ has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms, with a 60 percent probability, and a high UV index of 6 to 7.
- From June 8 to 9 the weather settles, mostly sunny, with highs up to 31 degrees.
- Instability returns from Wednesday, and Thursday, June 12, brings a sharp drop to 17 to 23 degrees.
Anyone who shut the blinds against Friday’s first drops gets a different picture this weekend. Sunday, June 7, turns warmer than recent days, but the sky stays busy. The national weather service, RHMZ, expects a changeable day and has issued a yellow alert for local thunderstorms, while meteorologist Marko Cubrilo describes the trend as a slow but steady warm-up before the next turn.
The north and west of Serbia will be mostly sunny and warm. Elsewhere, more cloud is likely, with local thunderstorms developing mainly in the afternoon. Daytime highs run from 26 to 30 degrees, so the day will feel like summer despite the occasional cloud.
What does the first half of the week bring?
The next three days call for a plan B for anything outdoors, because sunshine and instability will trade places quickly. Here is how to line up the days.
- Sunday, June 7: changeable, local thunderstorms, a yellow alert with a 60 percent probability, highs up to 30 degrees.
- UV index: high, 6 to 7, which means sun protection is worth it even when the sky is partly cloudy.
- Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9: settled and mostly sunny, up to 31 degrees, with cooler mornings between 13 and 18 degrees.
This pattern, warm days and fresh mornings, suits early walks and outdoor work before noon. Cubrilo notes it will stay cool from Sunday into midweek, with daytime temperatures climbing slowly. The yellow alert is no reason to cancel plans, but a nudge to stay alert: the storms are local and short-lived, yet they can catch you off guard.
Meteorologist Marko Cubrilo: cool from Sunday into Wednesday night, slowly warming during the day.
When does the temperature drop?
After a few settled days, the weather gets complicated again. Instability builds from Wednesday, June 10, and heavy showers are expected overnight into Thursday, first across the north. That sets up the main shift of the week.
On Thursday, June 12, a clear cooldown arrives. Highs fall to 17 to 23 degrees, well below the 31 degrees forecast for the start of the week. A swing of around ten degrees in just a couple of days is enough to swap light summer clothes for something warmer, especially in the morning and evening.
For anyone planning trips or work outdoors, the math is simple: use the sunny, warm days through midweek for longer activities, and save the end of the week for indoor jobs. Keep water and light sun protection handy while the UV stays high, and have an umbrella ready from Wednesday on.
How are you planning your week, counting on a warm Sunday afternoon or already digging out a jacket for Thursday?
