Meteorological history thumb|left|Total precipitation between 11 and 17 May On 13 May, a low-pressure area formed over the Adriatic Sea, as polar air from Central Europe penetrated into the Mediterranean basin. The cold polar air mass met with humid subtropical air, leading to very low pressure. On 14 May, the low moved over Southeast Europe, becoming stationary. As a result, extremely heavy rain fell within the region; Serbia (in the area around Belgrade) and Bosnia were most affected.Herold Christian Thema des Tages: 16 Mai 2014, Die wilde "Yvette" sorgt für schwere Unwetter im südöstlichen Europa German Weather Service 16 May 2014 Serbian and Bosnian meteorologists named the formed cyclone "Tamara".TAMARA HARA SRBIJOM: Meteorolozi dali ime ciklonu koji nas je potopio! http://www.kurir-info.rs/tamara-hara-srbijom-meteorolozi-dali-ime-ciklonu-koji-nas-je-potopio-clanak-1368603 18 May 2014 Kurir 2014-05-15 sr 19 May 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140519002917/http://www.kurir-info.rs/tamara-hara-srbijom-meteorolozi-dali-ime-ciklonu-koji-nas-je-potopio-clanak-1368603 deadOde "Tamara"! http://www.blic.rs/Vesti/Drustvo/466212/Ode-Tamara 18 May 2014 Blic 18 May 2014 sr On 15 May, the daily amounts of rainfall broke historical records in Belgrade (107.9 mm), Valjevo (108.2 mm) and Loznica (110 mm).http://www.telegraf.rs/vesti/1070475-rekord-u-beogradu-valjevu-i-loznici-pale-najobilnije-kise-u-istoriji REKORD: U Beogradu, Valjevu i Loznici pale najobilnije kiše u istoriji!

The main flooding region was the watershed of the Sava river, which forms a border between Bosnia and Croatia, flows into Serbia, and drains into the Danube in Belgrade. On Wednesday, 14 May, heavy rainfall caused torrential floods across mountainous regions, which destroyed bridges and infrastructure, and caused numerous landslides. The deadliest impact occurred on Thursday, 15 May, when water levels in several right-bank tributaries of the Sava suddenly and uncontrollably rose at an unprecedented rate, flooding towns in their valleys. The Bosna river in central Bosnia completely flooded the cities of Doboj, Maglaj, Zavidovići and Šamac, while the Kolubara, near Belgrade, did the same to Obrenovac; those cities had the major share of victims. Subsequently, the Sava itself rose to record-high levels, threatening the cities of Slavonski Brod, Šabac and Sremska Mitrovica and numerous villages, but the damage was relatively contained as the population, helped by army and volunteers, strengthened flood defenses. Nonetheless, embankments gave way in several places. Heavy rainfall was also experienced in the region on 3 and 4 May, affecting Romania, Italy and Bosnia. The event produced limited damage but left a number of flooding incidents and high rivers.Southeast Europe Flooding http://www.rms.com/Catastrophe/Catupdates/CatSummary?event_id=4232 18 May 2014 RMS 5 April 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140527071620/http://www.rms.com/Catastrophe/Catupdates/CatSummary?event_id=4232 27 May 2014 dead A state of emergency was declared in parts of Bosnia by local government. Hydrology Though heaviest affected areas were in the valleys of the Sava and Kolubara rivers, the center of the flood was the drainage basin of the Bosna river and its mouth into the Sava. Water in the Sava then broke through the newly constructed embankment on the left bank in Croatia and flooded the Lower Syrmia region. The water then uncontrollably rushed into the Bosut river which flows back into the Sava in Serbia. In Serbia, the heaviest floods were in the Kolubara river basin where the major rainfall caused extreme torrents in the mountains, causing the hydrological coincidence, a fact that high tidal waves appeared simultaneously on both the left and the right tributaries of the Kolubara. Rivers of Peštan and Vraničina also spilled over, flooding the surface mine "Tamnava-Zapadna Polje", within the Kolubara mines (see Lake Paljuvi). The flooded mines captured 200 million m3 of the flood water. Stevan Prohaska, "Jaroslav Černi Institute" Ugroženost of poplava Flood threats Politika 26 sr 12 December 2017 http://www.politika.rs/sr/clanak/394310/Pogledi/Ugrozenost-od-poplava Belgrade's Institute "Jaroslav Černi", funded by UNDP, compiled a study "Improvement of the water protection in the Kolubara drainage basin". Hydrological section of the report concludes that the cyclone caused the "continual rain of temperate intensity", which however lasted for too long (over three days). In May, the measured 48-hours rainfall was higher than the millennial rains in Loznica while the return period in Belgrade and Valjevo was 400 years. Return periods of the flow in the Kolubara was 120–520 and at the confluence into the Sava, when the Kolubara flooded Obrenovac and the mines, the discharge was 1,456 m3/s on. If the system against the floods was finished and functioning properly, and that mines and Obrenovac weren't flooded, the discharge would be 2,460 m3/s on. In the drainage basin of the Bosna river in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the rains in some places were exceeding the return period of 5,000 years (Vidmar A., et al., "The Bosna River floods in May 2014", Journal on Flood Risk, p. 1–25). At the same time, during the massive overspill in the basin, the return period of the maximal discharge (4,121 m3/s on, 15 May 2014) was only 152 years and of the wave volume (1,463,000,000 m3 on) was 189 years. After the reconstruction of the flood in the controlled environment, it was concluded that the discharge of the Bosna at Doboj would be 5,000 m3/s on on 16 May 2014. A discharge of the Sava, right after the mouth of the Bosna, at the Šamac bridge, was 6,000 m3/s on on 17 May (Abdulaj R., et al., hr Velike vode donjeg toka rijeke Save tijekom svibnja 2014, hr Hrvatska vodoprivreda no, 207, 14–16, 2014). Downstream, in Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia, the discharge of the Sava was 6,420 m3/s on (sr Hidrološki godišnjak RHMZ Srbije za 2014). If the entire flood control system in all three countries functioned, and that there were no overspills and floods, a hydrological coincidence of joining the highest Sava and Kolubara water levels would occur. That means that in Belgrade, downstream from the mouth of Kolubara into the Sava, the Sava would bring almost 9,000 m3/s on. The riparian zone along the Sava in Belgrade, called Savski Nasip and enhanced with the embankments, is designed for receiving 6,500 m3/s on, so the city would probably suffer a major damage. Additionally, due to the illegal construction of the houses in the Savski Nasip area, the riparian zone is being destroyed and its volume is reduced.
