A severe weather system is set to affect Slovenia over the coming days, bringing thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds. According to forecasts from the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Environment (Arso), the country will experience a mix of unstable conditions starting with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the north and west early in the morning. The lowest temperatures overnight will range between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius, with lower readings around 15 degrees Celsius in the Upper Savinja Valley. During the day, partly cloudy skies will prevail, with additional rainfall and isolated thunderstorms expected. Winds from the east will blow through the interior regions, while maximum daytime temperatures will reach between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius, with slightly cooler conditions in the Upper Savinja Valley. By Sunday, the weather is expected to become mostly clear, though some valleys might remain foggy or have low cloud cover in the morning. On Monday, sunny conditions are forecast, although light showers and thunderstorms could develop in northern parts of the country later in the afternoon. Temperatures are predicted to rise again, with higher heat levels anticipated. The situation becomes more complex as the week progresses. Starting Tuesday, high-pressure areas will begin to weaken, allowing a cold front moving from western and central Europe to pass over Slovenia midweek. This cold front will be followed by another high-pressure area that will persist until the end of the following week. Warm and stable air masses will gradually spread from the west into Slovenia. Tuesday is expected to bring mostly sunny conditions, with occasional showers and thunderstorms possible in mountainous regions. Wednesday will see variable to predominantly cloudy skies, with showers and thunderstorms forming, which will largely subside during the night leading into Thursday. A slight cooling trend is anticipated, after which the weather will gradually improve, becoming clearer by Thursday and remaining so through Sunday. Daytime temperatures are expected to climb back toward 30 degrees Celsius by the end of the week. On Friday evening, the weather was still relatively warm, with temperatures ranging between 28 and 33 degrees Celsius, reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius in the southeast. However, the atmosphere has been affected by dust particles, making it somewhat unsettled. As the evening progresses, the likelihood of localized thunderstorms increases, particularly in the northwest and western parts of the country. Strong gusts of wind, heavy downpours, and even hail are possible. The Arso issued an orange-level warning for the western part of the country due to these potential developments. In the late evening hours, thunderstorm activity intensified in northern Italy, with a stronger storm cell currently located near Venice. Its path remains uncertain, but it is approaching the coastal areas of Slovenia, including Koper and its surroundings. Thunder and lightning were reported near Nova Gorica, prompting local emergency services to issue alerts regarding potential damage caused by strong winds. As the night progresses, the weather is expected to calm down gradually. Saturday will feature partly cloudy conditions with some showers and thunderstorms. Easterly winds will dominate the interior regions, with maximum temperatures ranging from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius, with slightly lower temperatures in the Upper Savinja Valley. Sunday is likely to be mostly sunny, with some fog or low cloud cover possible in certain valleys in the morning. Monday will be sunny, but there's a chance of light showers and thunderstorms developing in the northern parts of the country in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to rise once again. Looking ahead, the weather pattern suggests that the influence of a low-pressure area over the British Isles will continue to affect the region. A cold front has already reached the Alps from the northwest, pushing warm and dry air from the south-west across Slovenia. This warm air mass will contribute to increased instability in the atmosphere, potentially leading to further thunderstorm activity. While the immediate threat of large amounts of precipitation seems unlikely, the possibility of localized thunderstorms remains. The Arso has issued warnings for specific areas, emphasizing the need for vigilance and preparedness. The upcoming weekend brings mixed conditions, with temperatures expected to drop slightly compared to recent days. However, by the middle of next week, the weather is projected to return to warmer conditions, with temperatures possibly rising back above 30 degrees Celsius towards the end of the week. Despite this, the presence of occasional showers and thunderstorms may temporarily slow the decline in groundwater levels and increase the flow rate of karst springs. Initial forecasts from the Arso suggest that temperatures will fall below 30 degrees Celsius, but they could rebound toward the end of the week.
