After record-breaking heat, cooling is on the way, but before the storms, a severe thunderstorm.

Slovenia has experienced record-breaking heat at the beginning of the week, with temperatures reaching 38.7°C in Podnanos, setting a new June temperature record. Despite this extreme heat, meteorologists warn that significant weather activity is expected by Wednesday, including thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and spreading across much of the country by evening. The heatwave will persist until Wednesday, prompting warnings from the Slovenian Environment Agency (Arso) for southern, central, and southeastern regions due to high thermal stress, particularly affecting coastal areas, eastern Slovenia, and major cities. While Tuesday remains mostly sunny with temperatures between 30–35°C (up to 37°C along the coast), isolated heat-induced thunderstorms cannot be ruled out, especially in Alpine regions. Although more severe storms are not anticipated, scattered thunderstorms and showers are expected to spread across most of Slovenia by Wednesday night. However, these weather changes will bring relief from the intense heat, with cooler conditions arriving by Thursday. Friday is forecasted to be mainly sunny, though occasional showers could occur in inland areas during the afternoo
