It will be the hottest day of the week, but they're not ruling out another heat wave.

The article reports on expected heatwaves across parts of Central and Eastern Europe, including Slovenia, during early August 2026. It explains that a 'heat dome', a high-pressure system causing prolonged periods of extreme heat, is currently affecting regions such as Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, northern Italy, and Slovenia. The highest temperature anomalies are predicted for Poland on Wednesday, while the UK, France, and the Iberian Peninsula may experience some relief due to oceanic air masses. In Ljubljana, temperatures are expected to remain extremely high throughout Thursday, particularly from eastern Slovenia and Croatia towards Hungary, Slovakia, northern Serbia, Romania, and Ukraine. The article also notes that the upcoming week could see another heatwave moving from Portugal, Spain, and France toward the Alps. Additionally, it provides data on July 2026 being unusually hot in Slovenia, ranking third among the hottest Julys since 1950, with an average temperature deviation of +2.0°C above the 1991–2020 reference period. Arso, Slovenia’s environmental agency, highlights that July 2026 was significantly drier than average, with only 49% rainfall

ARSO warns: rivers overflowing, sea warming, pumping water strictly prohibited

Slovenia is facing severe drought conditions, with rivers at historically low levels and the Adriatic coast experiencing record-high temperatures. The Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for the Environment (ARSO) has issued a red weather warning due to heat, expanding it to central parts of the country. This situation is attributed to a third heatwave this year, following a month of minimal rainfall. ARSO warns that the combination of high temperatures and drought threatens entire aquatic ecosystems. Authorities have strictly prohibited unauthorized water extraction, citing legal measures under the Water Act (ZV-1), which mandates ecological minimum flows in riverbeds to sustain aquatic life. Some smaller streams and rivers have already dried up entirely, endangering water organisms and their habitats. Hydrological data indicates that over 60 percent of monitoring stations across the country recorded 'low' or 'extremely low' water levels by late July, signaling an ongoing period of moderate hydrological drought.
