Prilep, in the Pelagonia region of southern North Macedonia, receives around 600 mm (about 24 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective storms typical of the wider agricultural plain. The surrounding hills, home to the region’s well-known tobacco farming, can help trigger localized storms that sometimes bring damaging hail.

Radar tracking gives farmers a genuinely useful early view of an approaching storm cell. North Macedonia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
