How the Balkans region grappled with the hottest summer in more than a century
The summer of 2024 in the Balkans was the hottest since records began over 130 years ago, with temperatures consistently above 30 C and not dropping below 20 C at night.
Goran Pejanovic from Serbia's Hydrometeorological Service stated that Southeast Europe was “trapped” under a subtropical warm air mass from Western Africa and the Mediterranean Sea.
In Bosnia, record-breaking warm nights and days tripled compared to last year, according to Bakir Krajinovic from Bosnia’s Hydrometeorological Institute.
