The weather has been "crazy" in Europe these days, presenting significant challenges for anyone caught in the path of these dangerous storms and unpredictable conditions, which have even surprised meteorologists.
Bakir Krajinović, a meteorologist from the Federal
Hydrometeorological Institute, mentioned during his appearance on TV N1 that
September is the hardest month to forecast due to large temperature
fluctuations.
“For example, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the lowest
temperature recorded was in Bugojno at -5.7°C in September, while the highest
was 41°C in Mostar. Under such circumstances, forecasting models provide varied
results, making it both challenging and interesting. Regarding rainfall – in
just one day, Mostar saw 127 liters of rain. These are some September records.
Typically, rainy spells last for about three days,” Krajinović explained.
He also pointed out that transitional seasons come with significant fluctuations but that nice, sunny weather is not over yet.
“The maximum temperatures expected will be below average,
and it will be quite cold and fresh with more frequent rainfall. After the
18th, temperatures will rise to as high as 26°C. So, we haven’t said goodbye to
good weather yet. Most people are hoping for a typical autumn in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, but seasonal forecasting models show that this fall will trend
towards higher-than-average temperatures. Overall, it will be a warmer autumn
than usual, with below-average rainfall,” Krajinović noted, adding that after
September 18, the braver ones will still be able to go for a swim.
