Amateur meteorologist Marko Cubrilo goes a step further in his forecast for Mondo, saying Saturday will be the coldest day in the longer stretch ahead, with a high of just 6 degrees in eastern Serbia. RHMZ does not confirm that figure, so plan around the official forecast and treat Cubrilo’s as a warning that the east will feel noticeably cooler.

Belgrade and Novi Sad 18, Nis 18, Kragujevac 19, Negotin 21, Zlatibor 14, Kopaonik 9. Telegraf and Press report highs of up to 20, and Cubrilo says 15 to 22 degrees.
Mornings stay cold. Cubrilo expects lows of 0 to 10 degrees and a chance of frost at elevations above 1,300 meters. For a Sunday outing, layers work best: a warmer jacket in the morning, a light T-shirt by midday.
What comes next, through October 24?
For Monday, October 19, RHMZ forecasts little to moderate cloud, mostly cloudy in the south and southeast with light rain in places, and highs of 15 to 19 degrees. From October 20 to 24 it is mostly dry, with light rain in places in the south.

One last note: RHMZ warns that water levels on the Danube, the Sava and the Tisa at Titel will be below low navigation levels over the coming days. If you are planning a weekend on the river, keep that in mind.
