The Kosovo Hydrometeorological Institute (IHMK) has issued a weather bulletin placing the nation at an orange level of safety warning. The advisory details expected severe weather conditions across Kosovo throughout the entire day of November 22, running from midnight to 11:59 PM. The IHMK anticipates the development of strong convective systems.
These systems are forecast to generate local thunderstorms accompanied by squalls, intense rainfall, and the potential for damaging hail. Furthermore, the bulletin warns of strong, storm-like winds accompanying these weather events. Authorities advise the public to prepare for several potential impacts resulting from these developing weather patterns.
Foremost among the concerns is the high risk associated with lightning strikes, which pose dangers to both human life and domestic animals. Infrastructure is also at risk, with potential for damage to the electrical power grid and subsequent interruptions to electricity supply. Telecommunication systems are expected to face potential disruptions.
Additionally, residents should remain vigilant regarding the possibility of localized flash flooding. The IHMK urges residents and stakeholders to monitor official updates continuously. The warning underscores the necessity of preparedness due to the combination of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and the threat of hail across the region.
