Abstract

A mild temperate (mesothermal) climate (i.e. Köppen’s ‘C climate’) dominates in Serbia. However, on high mountains (i.e. at altitudes above 1,500 m), the climate is ‘boreal’ or microthermal (i.e. Köppen’s ‘D climate’), while the Tundra climate (Köppen’s ‘ET climate’) is only sporadically represented, occurring in regions above 2,000 m. The Dinaric Mountains form a topographic barrier that affects the precipitation pattern of the Balkan Peninsula with the west-facing side of the Dinarides receiving large amounts of rainfall. A semi arid season lasting from July to October is characteristic for the Pannonian region, while in eastern lowland regions (the Danube and Timok river valleys), seasonal drought is more severe, with the dry period lasting from July to September.
