Nikšić, in western Montenegro, receives around 2,000 mm (about 79 inches) of rain a year, among the wetter cities in Europe, as its position close to the mountains bordering the notoriously rain-heavy Dinaric coastal ranges intensifies precipitation dramatically. The wet season runs from autumn through spring, with intense storms capable of quickly raising levels in the surrounding rivers and karst terrain, where water can behave unpredictably given the region’s limestone geology. Summer stays comparatively dry. Because rainfall here is both heavy and can arrive with real intensity, radar tracking is a genuinely important everyday tool during the wet season. Montenegro’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
