Extreme Heat in Serbia

Research on extreme heat in Serbia

Hot summers with intensive heatwaves lead to strong heat-related mortality across Europe. Up to now, there are only a limited number of studies investigating heat-related mortality in the Republic of Serbia. This project will try to fill this research gap by identifying the local heat thresholds and triggers in Serbia, located in Southeast Europe. More specifically, we will be dealing with two research questions: 1) How many people have died during recent heatwave events (2015-2020) in Serbia? 2) At what temperature/humidity/duration combination do extreme temperatures lead to an increase in death in the period 2015-2020 in Serbia?This analysis will be supplemented with a detailed analysis of mortality and hospitalization in the second-largest city in the country (Novi Sad). Research outputs will be widely promoted among citizens and community leaders to increase knowledge on heatwaves and their impact on people and to develop policies and actions to deal with extreme heat.

Chasing the heat - micromet measurements

Chasing the sun and shade in green, blue and gray areas of Novi Sad, Serbia, on a very hot summer day with our MMCs and Kestrels. Some citizens also gave us a thumbs up 🤞

Extreme heat and climate change discussion in the Morning Show

On July 10th 2022, prof. Stevan Savić was invited to speak about climate change and extreme events at the Morning show on RT Vojvodina. He also introduced the project "Research on the extreme heat in Serbia", and spoke about consequences of the extreme heat in Serbia, and the expected results of the project.
