Meteorology was first practiced in Serbia when meteorological data was gathered, monitored and recorded on a daily basis, in 1848,  in Belgrade. Daily, meteorological forecasts started in 1892. The first meteorologist was Vladimir Jakšić. 
While the first meteorological observation post was in a nearby private house, a meteorological observation station (Serbian Meteorološka opservatorija) building was built in 1891 by architect Dimitrije T. Leko, on Vračar's plateau, in Savinac  (recognized also as Englezovac, named after Francis Mackenzie).
