In Bovec, garages, a hotel and a cultural center were flooded, 2000 shots were fired over Slovenia

A cold front brought heavy rain and flooding to areas around Bovc on Friday evening, causing water to flood several garages, a hotel, and a cultural center. Firefighters had to pump water out of these locations. The rain provided some relief from the prolonged heat and drought affecting much of Slovenia this summer. However, rainfall was uneven, with southern parts of the country receiving little to no rain, leaving the southeastern region completely dry. Over 2,000 lightning strikes were recorded over Slovenia in the past 24 hours, though this number is significantly lower than the record set on May 27, which saw 15,000 strikes in a single day. After the cold front passed, sunny weather with occasional clouds is expected today, with temperatures ranging between 27 and 31 degrees Celsius. The weekend will bring mostly dry and hot weather, continuing through at least the end of next week. Temperatures are expected to remain between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, slightly below this week’s levels. Drought conditions and low river water levels will continue, along with a high risk of wildfires, particularly in the coastal regions.

A cold front has swept through Slovenia, bringing much-needed rain and cooler temperatures after weeks of heatwaves and drought conditions. The weather system, which began affecting parts of the country late yesterday, is expected to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms throughout the evening, with some areas experiencing stronger downpours. According to reports from the Slovenian Environment Agency, the rainfall will likely range from 5 to 10 millimeters across the country, though localized variations could see higher amounts. The cold front, moving from the west toward the east, has already triggered light rain and thunderstorms in the northwestern regions, including parts of Carinthia and the Julian Alps. These initial showers have been reported during the night, with more intense activity expected later in the day as the front progresses. Meteorologists noted that while the overall volume of precipitation is unlikely to significantly alleviate the ongoing dry spell, the brief periods of rain will provide temporary relief to parched landscapes. In the morning, the air was described as warm and humid, with unstable conditions prevailing over southern and western Slovenia. As the cold front advances, these conditions are expected to shift, leading to increased cloud cover and intermittent showers. By midday, the weather will become more unsettled, with the possibility of stronger thunderstorms emerging in several regions. A reinforced northerly wind is anticipated, particularly near the coast, where gusty breezes could reach up to 70 kilometers per hour. The impact of the cold front will be felt most strongly along the Adriatic coast, where the combination of moisture-laden winds and rising humidity is expected to create highly unstable atmospheric conditions. This area is likely to experience the strongest storms, with potential for heavy downpools and lightning strikes. The agency warned that although the immediate effect on the long-term drought situation will be limited, the recent rainfall will help reduce surface-level dryness temporarily. Looking ahead, the weather pattern is expected to remain variable through the weekend, with further chances of rain in the western half of the country. Temperatures are projected to drop slightly, with daytime highs ranging between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius in the west, while eastern regions may see temperatures just above 30 degrees. The transition to more stable weather is expected to begin by Wednesday, with sunny skies and temperatures returning to the usual summer levels around 30 degrees. Throughout the week, the risk of wildfires remains high, especially in the coastal region, where the combination of dry vegetation and high temperatures continues to pose a threat. Authorities have issued warnings to residents and land managers to exercise caution and take preventive measures to avoid accidental fires. Despite the recent rains, the underlying conditions that contribute to fire danger, such as prolonged dry spells and high solar radiation, remain unchanged.
