The Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology announced that unstable weather is expected on Sunday afternoon and night, and especially during Monday.

"A high-altitude valley opens from the northwest and west, and on Monday a cyclone forms over the Apennine and Balkan peninsulas with the influx of colder and wetter air. On Sunday in the afternoon and night, and especially during Monday (August 18 and 19, 2024) Unstable weather conditions are expected. In the territory of Montenegro, an abundant amount of rain is expected for a short period, stormy clouds are also possible with the conditions for the local occurrence of bad weather accompanied by hail", announced the Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology.

They add that in addition to rain, in the zone of thunderclouds, strong, gusty and stormy winds are also possible.

"So, the multi-day heat wave will end tomorrow, and for the next 2-3 days it will occasionally rain, and locally strong thunderstorms accompanied by stormy winds are possible. As a result of heavy rain, short-term problems with an abundant amount of water - flashflood effects - are possible locally. Especially in urban areas in the middle, on torrential streams and along roads that cross the mountain slopes. It is also possible that the functioning of regular activities will be difficult for a short time," the announcement reads.

The Directorate for Protection and Rescue of the MUP appealed to citizens to take appropriate measures to protect themselves and their property.

"The Directorate for Protection and Rescue of the MUP sent the aforementioned warning to all participants in the protection and rescue system and indicated the need to increase operational readiness," the Directorate for Protection and Rescue announced.
