In the night between Sunday and Monday, severe thunderstorms hit Slovenia, causing strong gusts of wind that uprooted trees and flooded buildings. Multiple lightning strikes were recorded, some of which ignited fires. One fire broke out at a farm in Bukovnik, part of the municipality of Solčava, located at the highest elevation in Slovenia. The fire damaged all agricultural buildings, killed livestock, destroyed farming equipment, and partially damaged the roof of a residential house. Firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading further, but the house suffered significant damage. Two people were injured in the incident. Local authorities have set up a donation account to support the affected family. Lightning detection systems, including those operated by Hungary's national meteorological service (HungaroMet) and Croatia's hydro-meteorological institute (DHMZ), tracked the intensity of the storm activity over Slovenia. These systems use data from the British Met Office's LEELA network, employing multilateration technology to calculate the precise location of lightning strikes based on arrival time differences across sensors.
