Podgorica, Montenegro’s capital, sits at the confluence of the Moraca and Ribnica rivers and receives around 1,600 mm (about 63 inches) of rain a year, considerably more than most European capitals, thanks to the surrounding mountains and the city’s proximity to one of Europe’s wettest regions. Rain is concentrated heavily in autumn, winter, and spring, while summer stays hot and dry. Intense storms, particularly in autumn, can bring torrential short-term rainfall capable of causing river levels to rise quickly. Because the shift from dry summer to intense wet-season storms happens fast, radar tracking during that transition is genuinely important. Montenegro’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
