SerbiaIn July 2023, Serbia was hit by two exceptionally strong supercell thunderstorms that caused significant damage across the country. These storms were described as having energy comparable to a nuclear strike, leaving behind destruction that local communities took months to recover from. The article explains that supercell storms are large, rotating systems that can last hours and travel hundreds of kilometers, differing from typical thunderstorms due to wind shear at different heights, which allows them to rotate and regenerate. Meteorologist Ivan Ristić explained that the conditions in July 2023 aligned perfectly for such extreme weather, including high sea temperatures in the Adriatic and specific air currents. The first storm on July 13 originated in northern Italy, moved over Istria and the northern Adriatic, and reached the Black Sea, causing severe damage in areas like Bačka Palanka.
