In previous 22 days of July, the deviation from the average medium air temperature in Banja Luka amounted to 4.8 degrees Celsius.
The meteorologists of the Hydrometeorological Institute of RS point out that it is obvious that this month will surpass all previous medium temperatures since the measurements exist, i.e. July will be extremely hot.
It is evident from the example of Banja Luka that each day in the first 22 days of July had a medium temperature higher than average.
The number of tropical nights in the month of July also equalized with the maximum recorded number from longstanding series of observations (five tropical nights).
The refreshment, or more precisely the end of the heat, wave shall not be expected until Sunday, July 26th, and it is to continue by the beginning of the next week.
The repeated increase in temperature to very high is expected on July 30th.
Long-term weather forecast for August shows that the anomaly of maximum and minimum temperature will be positive, which means that the average temperature will be 2 to 4 degrees higher than the usual average temperature.
The precipitation will be below average, so it will continue to negatively affect the balance of water, stated the Hydrometeorological Institute of RS.
