Heat wave set to hit Bosnia and Herzegovina with temperatures up to 41 °C
Meteorologists from the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FHMZ BiH) warn that a strong heat wave will affect the country at the end of July. After a brief period of scattered showers on July 28‑30, daily maximum temperatures are forecast to climb steadily, reaching 38 °C across most of the country by mid‑week and up to 41 °C in the southern regions on Friday, July 31. The weather will be predominantly sunny and the wind light, while night temperatures will stay above 20 °C. Health advisories note that the high heat can aggravate cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and recommend precautions for outdoor activities. The forecasts are consistent across several regional bulletins, which also indicate a brief stabilization of conditions before the temperature surge.
