This week's sunny, next week's plentiful with rain

The article reports on upcoming weather changes in Slovenia. It states that the current week will remain sunny and stable, but a change is expected with more rainfall next week. The weather system over Central Europe has strengthened high-pressure areas, bringing dry and slightly cooler air from the east. This will lead to lower nighttime temperatures ranging from 10 to 16 degrees Celsius, while daytime temperatures could reach up to 30 degrees Celsius. The coast will experience higher temperatures, reaching around 35 degrees Celsius by Friday before cooling slightly. By the end of the week, the wind direction will shift towards the southeast, leading to warmer conditions again. The first rains are expected to start on Monday with the arrival of the first weather disturbance. While the exact amount and distribution of rain are still uncertain, the coming week is predicted to be significantly wetter compared to previous weeks.

Meteorologists have warned that heatwaves will continue in Slovenia, with thunderstorms and heavy rain expected later in the day. According to reports from Meteoinfo Slovenia, Tuesday brings the continuation of extremely hot weather, which will feel more humid than previous days due to increased moisture in the air. Local showers and thunderstorms are expected to cool down the overheated atmosphere, particularly more than on Monday. The first thunderstorms are predicted to develop early in the afternoon in the interior of Primorska and Notranjska regions. By late afternoon and evening, storm activity is expected to intensify in northern parts of Slovenia, as a weakened cold front moves through the eastern Alps. Meteoinfo Slovenia noted that thunderstorms could become locally intense in the areas of Gorenjska, Koroška, and Štajerska, bringing heavy rainfall and stronger gusts of wind. Lightning strikes are also likely to accompany these storms. Rainfall distribution is expected to be highly uneven, with heavier amounts falling over mountainous areas while storms weaken over flatlands, leaving some areas dry. Similar forecasts were issued by the website Neurje.si, which stated that during the afternoon, stronger thunderstorms are possible, especially in the north of the country and in the Podravje region. These storms might bring hail and strong gusts of wind. The storms are also expected to be accompanied by increased lightning activity. According to the Agency for Environment of the Republic of Slovenia (ARSO), today will start mostly sunny, with some cloudiness in the northern half of Slovenia in the morning. In the afternoon and evening, local showers and thunderstorms are expected, becoming more frequent in the mountainous areas. Easterly winds will blow, with light sea breezes along the coast in the evening. The highest daily temperatures are forecasted to range from 30 to 36 degrees Celsius, reaching up to 38 degrees Celsius in the coastal areas. Tomorrow will be mostly clear, with some cloudiness in the morning. Easterly winds will continue, with light sea breezes along the coast. The lowest overnight temperatures are expected to range from 14 to 19 degrees Celsius, with higher temperatures in areas affected by sea breezes reaching up to 25 degrees Celsius. The highest daytime temperatures will range from 28 to 33 degrees Celsius, with up to 36 degrees Celsius in the coastal areas. On Thursday and Friday, the weather is expected to remain clear, with easterly winds continuing and light sea breezes along the coast. It will be cooler in the mornings. For the end of the week, the forecast indicates mostly clear and warm weather. On Sunday, there is a slightly increased chance of afternoon thunderstorms in the Alps. From Monday to Wednesday, the weather is expected to be variable and somewhat unpredictable, with increased chances of precipitation, especially on Tuesday. The highest daily temperatures in the interior will remain around 30 degrees Celsius until Friday, rising to between 32 and 35 degrees Celsius towards the end of the week. An improvement in weather conditions is expected from Wednesday onwards. Along the coast, daily temperatures will reach up to 35 degrees Celsius until Monday. Last night, a band of thunderstorms passed through Slovenia, bringing heavy rains that did little to alleviate the exceptional drought conditions. However, the cold front brought a slight cooling effect, ensuring that temperatures would not exceed 30 degrees Celsius in many areas today. As the cold front moved through the country on Friday evening, a band of thunderstorms with localized heavy rains swept across the country, spreading southward. By the second part of the night, the activity had begun to subside, with thunderstorms weakening on their path. Most of the rain fell in the northern half of Slovenia. According to ARSO data, rainfall in these areas was mainly between 10 and 20 millimeters. In specific measurement points near the northern border and in the Posočje region, where stronger downpours occurred, more than 50 millimeters of rain were recorded. Meanwhile, in the southern half of Slovenia, rainfall was minimal, often just a few millimeters, or none at all. In the Posočje region, strong winds and floods caused by meteorological water led to some issues. According to the Portal Spin, the Fire Department of the Republic of Slovenia for Protection and Rescue reported multiple interventions in Bovc last night due to flooding caused by meteorological water, which flooded residential buildings, cultural centers, and one hotel. Some work was also done by Tolmin firefighters who removed fallen trees from roads. On Saturday morning, the weather will be partly cloudy to predominantly cloudy, with sunny conditions developing throughout the day with occasional changes in cloud cover. In the afternoon and toward evening, some showers and thunderstorms are expected in the mountainous areas. Light sea breezes will prevail along the coast. The lowest morning temperatures will range from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, with approximately 22 degrees Celsius along the coast. The highest daily temperatures will range from 27 to 31 degrees Celsius, with up to 34 degrees Celsius along the coast. On Sunday, the weather will be mostly clear, with sea breezes gradually subsiding along the coast. Highest temperatures in most parts of Slovenia will again exceed 30 degrees Celsius. On Monday, the weather will initially be quite clear, with cumulus clouds forming during the day. In the afternoon and toward evening, some showers and thunderstorms are expected. On Tuesday, the weather will be sunny. It will be a bit warmer again. Another hot and largely dry week is expected above the Alps and Central Europe. A large area of high atmospheric pressure will be established above our areas. Very hot air will remain over our regions. From Wednesday onwards, the weather will be mostly clear. Some change in weather is expected for Sunday, although the forecast is still uncertain. The lowest morning temperatures will range from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, with approximately 22 degrees Celsius along the coast. The highest daily temperatures will range from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius, with a few degrees higher in Gorica and the Vipava Valley under the sea breeze. According to ARSO, after local showers and thunderstorms that did not bring enough rain to ease the drought, the rest of the week will see sunny and stable weather. However, a change is coming, promising more rainfall. A high-pressure area has strengthened over Central Europe. Increasingly dry and slightly cooler air will come from the east. The influence of easterly winds and dry air will bring lower morning temperatures in the interior of Slovenia, ranging from 10 to 16 degrees Celsius, while afternoon temperatures will rise to around 30 degrees Celsius. Heat will persist on the coast, where temperatures will reach around 35 degrees Celsius until Friday, after which they will decrease slightly with the gradual weakening of the sea breeze. In the interior of the country, by the end of the week, with the gradual shift of the wind direction from east to southwest, it will be slightly warmer again. This wind shift will also indicate a change in the weather. The first rains are expected to begin appearing on Monday with the passage of the first weather disturbance. As it seems, the following week will be much more rainy compared to previous weeks, though exactly where and how much rain will fall is still somewhat uncertain, according to ARSO.
