Montenegro and the broader Balkans experienced stark temperature swings last week, with clear skies creating unusually wide gaps between warm daytime highs and chilly nighttime lows. A high-pressure system delivered prolonged sunshine by day, but the lack of cloud cover at night allowed heat to dissipate quickly, leading to rapid cooling.
