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. Because agriculture is so central to the local economy, sudden shifts in weather during the growing season carry real practical stakes beyond daily convenience. Radar tracking gives farmers a genuinely useful early view of an approaching storm cell. North Macedonia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
