The week begins with unsettled weather and rainfall across a wide part of the territory. According to the forecast of the Military Meteorological Service, the areas most exposed to the heaviest rainfall remain those in the northwest, where storms, lightning and local hail episodes are also expected.
Rain begins in the morning
According to the official forecast, rainfall will begin in the early morning hours, initially in the northwest. It is then expected to gradually extend toward the north and locally into central areas.
Unstable air masses are expected to bring cloud cover across most of the country, making the start of the week far from a stable atmospheric picture.
The northwest carries the most problematic signal
In the northwest, rainfall of moderate to high intensity is forecast. According to the Military Meteorological Service, this rain may be accompanied by storms, lightning and locally also hail.
This is the part of the forecast that calls for the greatest practical caution for citizens, especially while traveling and in areas where episodes of severe weather create immediate difficulties.
Midday brings rain to most of the country
During midday, rainfall is expected to affect most of the territory, mainly with low intensity. However, in the northwest and partly in central areas, rainstorms of up to moderate intensity are forecast from time to time.
So, although the overall picture does not appear with the same intensity in every county, the weather remains unsettled and subject to rapid developments during the day.
Afternoon and evening, toward a halt in rainfall
In the afternoon hours, rainfall is expected to be limited mainly to mountainous areas and with low intensity. According to the forecast, it is expected to stop across the entire territory in the evening.
This means the unsettled weather episode is expected to be most noticeable from the morning through midday, before conditions gradually calm down.
Wind and sea
The wind will blow from the south at an average speed of up to 8 meters per second. Along the coast, in valley areas and during cloud development, it may reach up to 20 meters per second.
At sea, wave strength is forecast at 2 to 4 Beaufort, an indicator that requires attention for marine travel and activities along the coastline.
The forecast signals a typical Monday of disturbed weather, especially in the northwest, while rainfall is expected to ease across the country by evening.
