WILL THERE BE AN INDIAN SUMMER?

September surprised us with significant temperature fluctuations – from scorching summer heat to nearly winter-like days. In some regions, snow has even fallen.

Meteorologist Nedeljko Todorović told RTS that he wasn’t surprised by this and explained that it’s normal for a shift in weather to follow a two-month drought.

He explained that such weather patterns have always been typical in this region and that our climate naturally involves these changes.

- What is unusual is when there are no such changes, like we had in July and August when the weather was monotonous, Todorović added.

Todorović also mentioned that no extended period of stable and sunny weather, characterized by above-average temperatures, known as Indian summer, is expected in October.

Throughout most of the month, the meteorologist predicts alternating periods of two to three days of sunny and warmer weather, followed by three to four days of cooler and cloudier conditions.

- In the second half of October, we can expect morning frosts even in lower areas, and in November, the occurrence of the 'Košava' wind will become more frequent, he added.

He also noted that, perhaps, between October 8th and 12th, there might be a period of four to five days of dry and sunny weather.

- It is normal to have morning frosts in the second half of October, sometimes even in lower regions, not just in mountainous areas. In November, the Košava wind will start appearing more frequently, Todorović concluded.
