Subotica, in Serbia’s far north near the Hungarian border, receives around 600 mm (about 24 inches) of rain a year, with a summer peak from convective storms typical of the flat Pannonian plain that dominates the region. Without significant nearby terrain to trigger storms, summer convection depends heavily on daytime heating, meaning the most intense cells tend to build during the hottest afternoons and can bring damaging hail to the region’s farmland. Because the surrounding plain’s flat terrain means storm cells can be quite localized, radar helps the local agricultural community judge whether a developing cell is likely to pass directly overhead. Serbia’s Hydrometeorological Service operates the national radar network.
