But it will be very hot in the capital by the end of the week. According to Leus, in the near future, the weather in the region will be affected by a cold atmospheric front, which will lead to a noticeable decrease in temperature. However, during the day it will still be slightly higher than the climatic norm — not by five to six degrees, as it is now, but only by one or two. Short-term rains and thunderstorms are possible over the weekend.
