The Republic Hydrometeorological Institute (RHMZ) of Serbia has announced a series of cold mornings and severe frost conditions expected to last until Friday, April 11. The institute has urged farmers to remain vigilant and implement protective measures for their crops as cold weather settles across the country.

In addition to agricultural impacts, a yellow weather alert has been issued in response to the sudden drop in temperatures in various regions of Serbia.

Forecasted morning frosts are anticipated on Wednesday and Thursday, April 9 and 10, particularly in the southern parts of the country.

Ground frosts are expected to persist until Friday, April 11. These frosts could cause potential damage to flowering fruit varieties and species.

Farmers are encouraged to stay informed about weather updates and to apply protective measures when possible.

Current weather conditions include variable cloud coverage with extended sunny intervals, although light snow is projected in isolated areas of the southwestern mountains.

Winds are expected to be light to moderate, blowing from the northwest.

Highest temperatures will range from 6 to 12 degrees Celsius.

Later in the afternoon and evening, a new wave of cloudiness will move into Vojvodina and other areas overnight, potentially bringing brief light precipitation—either rain or snow.

Across the day, the weather will remain changeable, with sunny periods expected.

Rainfall is predicted on Thursday and Saturday, with rain in lower areas and snow in mountainous regions.

A notable aspect of Thursday's forecast is the expected strong northwest winds, with gusts reaching storm levels in Vojvodina, Belgrade, and parts of Central and Eastern Serbia.

The yellow weather alert was issued as a warning of potentially dangerous weather conditions due to extremely low temperatures that may fall below minus five degrees Celsius.

While such temperatures are not unusual, the alert is intended to encourage caution among residents.

Specific regions affected include Vojvodina, Belgrade, Western Serbia, Šumadija, Pomoravlje, and Eastern Serbia.

The yellow alert highlights the risk of cold air lakes and prolonged stays in these areas, which could lead to issues in heating and electricity supply, as well as risks of frozen taps and water supply installations.

Vulnerable populations, including those with chronic illnesses or undergoing medical treatment, are particularly at risk during these adverse weather conditions.

Meteorologist Ivan Ristić indicated that the influx of cold air from the Arctic via Vienna is expected to lead to a significant drop in temperatures across the Balkans and Serbia.

He projects that as Easter approaches on April 20, temperatures will gradually rise, albeit still remaining below or around 20 degrees Celsius.

It is anticipated that by the third decade of April, there will be an increase in sunny periods and a decrease in cloud cover, with reliable expectations for less rainfall.

In the meantime, the month of April is expected to continue to display colder and variable weather with frequent precipitation likely falling within the seasonal norms for this month.

In mountainous areas, occasional snow showers may extend the ski season into the early part of April.

As Serbia progresses toward mid-April, snow may also be possible in lower regions.

Cold weather is set to persist until mid-April, with temperatures forecasted to gradually rise to between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius.

Meteorologist Ristić warned that the cold conditions typical for this time of year will continue to influence the region, resulting in fluctuating temperatures and possible nighttime frosts ranging from minus five to zero degrees, which could potentially damage fruit orchards and other agricultural crops, necessitating protective techniques against frost.
