Niš, in southern Serbia, receives around 600 mm (about 24 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective storms intensified somewhat by the surrounding hills as the terrain transitions toward the Balkan mountains. The Nišava river running through the city has occasionally seen elevated levels during periods of sustained heavy rain, though the more routine hazard comes from sudden, intense summer downpours capable of flash flooding specific streets. Because the hillier terrain here creates more local variation in rainfall than Serbia’s flatter northern plains, radar gives a clearer picture than a broad national forecast. Serbia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
