Serbia

January in Serbia marks the zenith of winter, with temperatures reaching their lowest throughout the year. The country, particularly its northern region, is under a thick blanket of snow.

The southern region of Serbia, influenced by the Mediterranean, experiences milder winters. However, January is still one of the coldest months, and snowfall is common, especially in elevated areas. This region contrasts significantly with December, which sees less snow and slightly higher temperatures, and February, which begins to mark a slow transition towards spring, with temperatures slowly rising.

In the east, the city of Niš, with its slightly milder climate due to lower altitudes, has January temperatures ranging from -3°C (26.6°F) to 5°C (41°F). Despite the lower temperatures, the snowfall here is moderate compared to the mountainous regions.
