Although the big April frost was announced, none of the farmers were prepared for a temperature of eight degrees below zero. Stone fruits such as apricots are the most affected by frost. "There will be no fruit this year," farmer Dragan Kleut told Vreme
The morning frosts that hit some parts of Serbia in recent days caused great damage to fruit growers. Early varieties of stone fruits suffered the most. Serbia is lagging behind in the application of modern agricultural technology
Although calendar spring is close, Serbia woke up this morning with frost and temperatures that in some places reached as low as -7 degrees
The morning in Serbia brings the lowest temperatures of -10 to -3 degrees, with fog and frost in most of the country. During the day, the weather will remain cold, and only in some places the sun will shine on the mountain areas
It will be mostly sunny in the north of Banat, in Bačka, Srem and western Serbia. Moderate to completely cloudy in other areas
The nights in Serbia are clear and icy. It is fatal for the fruit which, due to the mild winter, has already budded and blossomed. Raspberry growers are especially worried, because snow has fallen on the "red gold" in many parts of Serbia, but it is still too early to forecast prices
It has already happened that an entire crop of fruit has failed, Tomislav Jelić, a farmer from Čačany, tells us. Weather changes are a horror for fruit growers - because of the warm winters, the fruit starts early, and then it can be crushed by frost, if it comes
After Scandinavia was hit by the lowest temperatures ever, the ice wave will arrive in Serbia from this Monday
