There's going to be a major weather event that's going to disrupt the weather all over the world.
The article discusses the development of the El Niño phenomenon, which has already begun to intensify and is expected to become a strong climate event by late July 2026. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that this could lead to extreme weather conditions globally, including droughts, heavy rainfall, and heatwaves. The phenomenon affects wind patterns, air pressure, and precipitation worldwide, typically occurring every two to seven years and lasting nine to twelve months. Experts predict higher-than-average temperatures across much of the landmass between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude, while there will be significant contrasts in rainfall, with increased rain in parts of the United States and reduced rainfall in India and Australia. Scientists note that although climate change does not directly increase the frequency of El Niño events, rising ocean and atmospheric temperatures amplify their effects, particularly through more frequent extreme weather events. The WMO is accelerating early warning systems to help countries respond promptly and protect agriculture, public health, and other critical sectors.
Maribor's "Building a Root!" exhibition is a reminder that construction is nearing completion
The construction of the Maribor Rotovž Cultural Centre, which is increasingly being referred to as the 'City House of Culture Rotovž,' is nearing completion. To inform the public, photographs from the construction site have been displayed on Main Square. The exhibition, titled 'Gradimo Rotovž!' (We Are Building Rotovž!), will remain open throughout the summer and aims to highlight the progress made toward the center's opening. According to Jure Kirbiš from the Museum of Art Maribor (UGM), the project represents one of the largest infrastructure developments in the country's cultural sector and addresses long-standing spatial challenges faced by the Maribor Library and UGM. The complex will include a cinema, café, classrooms, and playrooms, funded partly through European grants and the Ministry of Culture. Mayor Saša Arsenovič emphasized that the space will be community-driven, allowing residents to contribute ideas and shape the content of the center. While the exact opening date has not yet been set, the library's books are expected to move into their new spaces by September.
Unofficially, Ziggy Fatty is leaving the top of the SDH today, so who's in the running for successor?
The article reports on the impending departure of Žiga Debeljak from his position at SDH (Slovenian Democratic Party), following the resignation of Andrej Ribič. Debeljak is expected to officially resign today after submitting an informal notice to the Ministry of Finance and relevant authorities. His exit marks the end of the Kadrovska vladavina (cadre leadership) era under Robert Golob. The article suggests that Debeljak’s resignation was expedited to secure him a new mandate, which has caused some public backlash. As a potential successor, Branko Bračko, a long-time manager of Unior and member of SDS, is mentioned as the most likely candidate for chairman of SDH's board. Debeljak gained public recognition through his role at Mercator, succeeding Zoran Janković, and later continued similar management policies within Gorenje. There are informal mentions of Debeljak possibly seeking a position in the European Investment Bank (EIB), though this remains unconfirmed.

Evrska inflacija se umirja, Slovenija ostaja nad evropskim povprečjem
The inflation rate in the euro area fell again in June, reaching 2.8%, down by 0.4 percentage points compared to May, according to preliminary data from Eurostat. However, this remains above the European Central Bank's (ECB) medium-term target of two percent. Slovenia's inflation rate was 3.7% in June, significantly higher than the euro zone average. Energy prices remained the largest contributor to inflation at 8.7%, though there was a slight decline compared to May. Services also contributed significantly, with a 3.2% increase in prices. Food, alcohol, and tobacco saw a slower rise in prices, while non-energy industrial goods had minimal price increases. Despite these reductions, inflation has not yet reached the level considered stable by the ECB. Slovenia continues to experience notably higher inflation than the euro zone average, which impacts household living costs and purchasing power.
