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

On June 29, 2026, Slovenia experienced record-breaking temperatures with ten new June heat records set across the country, according to data released by the Slovenian Environment Agency (Arso). The extreme weather conditions continued through the week, with the highest recorded temperature of 38.7°C measured in Podnanos, surpassing the previous June record of 38.4°C set in Dobliče near Črnomlje in 2025. These unprecedented temperatures were accompanied by widespread heat stress, prompting the agency to issue a red weather alert for the southern, central, and southeastern parts of the country, which remained in effect until Wednesday. The heatwave intensified throughout the day, with temperatures reaching up to 38°C in some areas, particularly on the Primorska region and in the south-eastern part of Slovenia. In cities such as Ljubljana, the temperature in Bežigrad reached 36.9°C, breaking the previous record of 36.8°C set in 2019. On the other hand, in Tolmin, the temperature reached 36.8°C, setting another local record, while in Litija, the temperature was 35.4°C, surpassing the previous record of 35.3°C from 2019. In Dolenje near Ajdovščina, the temperature climbed to 37.4°C, making it the hottest day of the year so far. Heat advisories were issued for all regions, urging citizens to take precautions against the effects of high temperatures. Authorities recommended staying indoors during peak hours, limiting physical activity outdoors, and drinking plenty of fluids. Animals also required special attention due to the harsh conditions. Additionally, road congestion was anticipated due to increased traffic and potential accidents caused by heat-related fatigue. By Saturday, the extreme heat began to subside slightly, although the weather remained very hot. In the afternoon, thunderstorms started to develop, originating from the north, bringing relief to certain areas. However, the weather remained unstable, with occasional showers and gusty winds. In some regions, such as the Julian Alps, light rain was reported, though not heavy enough to significantly lower temperatures. As the week progressed, the weather forecast indicated a gradual cooling down, especially towards Thursday. By Tuesday, temperatures were expected to drop below 30°C in most regions, except for the Primorska area, where they could reach around 37°C. The weather service warned that despite the decrease in temperature, the air would remain humid, leading to continued discomfort and the need for vigilance against dehydration and sun exposure. In neighboring countries, similar extreme weather patterns were observed. In Germany, nighttime temperatures reached an unprecedented 29.4°C in the east, breaking the previous record of 27.2°C set in 2003. In France, there were reports of over 1,000 additional deaths linked to the heatwave, primarily among the elderly. Meanwhile, in Croatia, temperatures exceeded 30°C in several coastal towns, with Dubrovnik recording 30.8°C early in the morning, raising concerns about health risks and travel disruptions. The heatwave had a noticeable impact on transportation infrastructure, with road closures and delays reported in parts of Slovenia and Germany. In Slovenia, traffic authorities advised drivers to plan their journeys carefully, ensuring they had enough water and were well-prepared for the conditions. Emergency services and roadside assistance teams were deployed to provide aid to stranded motorists and ensure safe passage for travelers. Throughout the week, meteorologists emphasized that while the immediate threat of extreme heat was decreasing, the long-term implications of such weather events were still under scrutiny. Climate experts noted that these extreme conditions were consistent with global warming trends, suggesting that such heatwaves might become more frequent in the future. As the weather gradually stabilized, efforts shifted toward monitoring the recovery of affected areas and preparing for potential follow-up weather systems that could bring cooler temperatures and precipitation.

A heat wave is setting new records: June temperature records at ten stations have fallen

A heatwave continues across Slovenia, with today's temperatures being even higher than yesterday in much of the country. According to preliminary data from the Slovenian Environment Agency (Arso), ten measuring stations recorded June temperature records. The highest temperature was measured in Primorska, where Podnanos reached 37.5°C, while several other areas in central Slovenia also reported record-breaking June values.

Lightning sparked a fire, and the flames moved closer to the houses.

A fire broke out in the area of Čiovo in the afternoon, reportedly caused by lightning during a storm. The storm was accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain. One of the lightning strikes ignited the fire, which quickly spread due to the wind, making firefighting efforts difficult. Firefighters were assisted by Canadian units arriving on site. The fire was very close to houses, and thick smoke filled the area. By around 7 PM, heavy rain began to fall over Čiova, significantly slowing the spread of the fire and improving conditions on the ground. However, the danger remained due to the continued strong winds. Additionally, fires were reported in Kaštel Sućurc, also sparked by lightning. In Split, temperature records were broken twice today, reaching 39.4°C and then 39.6°C before a sudden change in weather brought relief, with temperatures dropping to 18°C in some areas.
