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

According to the latest data, today's hottest temperature was in Bilbao, near Nova Gorica, measured at just under 40 degrees Celsius.

On August 1, 2026, Slovenia experienced extremely high temperatures, with the highest recorded at 39.2°C in Bilje near Nova Gorica. Similar temperatures were noted at Park Škocjanske jame with 39.1°C. According to meteorologist Arsu Urban Žagar, this heatwave resembles previous record-breaking days in July, where unofficial data indicated new temperature records at multiple stations across the country. The heat is expected to continue through the upcoming days, potentially leading to a new national temperature record if conditions align. Current records stand at 40.8°C, set in 2013. The focus of the heatwave is anticipated to shift eastward, affecting areas like Bela Krajina, Krška kotlina, and Prekmurje, with temperatures possibly reaching up to 40°C. However, final temperatures depend on factors such as wind direction and cloud cover.

Wow, we've had another record-breaking day of high temperatures in our area. What's next, an absolute temperature record?

The article reports on unusually high temperatures recorded across Slovenia, with some areas approaching new heat records. According to data from the Slovenian Environment Agency (Agencija RS za okolje), the highest temperature was measured in Bile (Bilje) near Nova Gorica at 39.2°C, while the Skocjan Caves park recorded 39.1°C. Meteorologist Urban Žagar from ARS noted that the first day of August has been similarly hot to the last days of July, which saw record-breaking temperatures at 28 monitoring stations, with 15 setting absolute records. One notable record was set in Dolina near Ajdovščina, where temperatures reached 40°C. The heatwave is expected to continue, though experts caution that an all-time national record of 40.8°C, set in 2013, remains unlikely for now. The focus of the heat is shifting eastward, with peak temperatures predicted in the Bled Basin, Krka Valley, and Prekmurje, potentially reaching up to 40°C. Weather conditions, including wind direction and cloud cover, will influence final readings. On Sunday, temperatures might drop by one to two degrees compared to today.

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.

A fire broke out on the slopes of Planje in the municipality of Bovec, Slovenia, and was successfully extinguished by volunteer firefighters from several local units, including the state unit for firefighting using two aircraft. The fire was reported by a resident who noticed smoke, and it occurred on inaccessible terrain at an elevation of 1,600 meters. Firefighters had to deploy nearly 1 kilometer of hose and use a high-pressure pump to reach the site. Two 'air tractor' aircraft dropped 12,000 liters of water over four hours, helping to contain the blaze. The incident involved 23 firefighters and additional support from civilian rescue teams. Authorities have declared a significant wildfire risk across the country due to extreme heat conditions, and further assessments are planned.
