Kragujevac, in central Serbia’s hilly Šumadija region, receives around 650 mm (about 26 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective thunderstorms typical of the transition zone between the flatter Vojvodina plain to the north and more mountainous terrain further south. The surrounding hills add a degree of local variability to exactly where the heaviest storms build on a given afternoon. Hail is a recognized risk for the region’s orchards and vineyards during the most intense summer cells. Because of this terrain-driven variability, radar tracking gives residents a more precise real-time picture than the general forecast. Serbia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
