Belgrade sits where the Sava river meets the Danube and receives around 680 mm (about 27 inches) of rain a year, with a fairly even seasonal spread and a modest early-summer peak from convective storms. Both rivers have a history of significant flooding during periods of sustained heavy rain across their vast upstream watersheds, most notably during severe regional flooding in 2014 that affected large parts of the Balkans. Faster, more localized summer thunderstorms are a separate, more routine hazard, often bringing hail. Because these two flood risks unfold on very different timescales, radar is most useful for tracking the faster local storms. Serbia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
