Tuesday will be sunny and slightly warmer again. On Wednesday, cloud cover will increase from the west, while the east will remain quite sunny. In the afternoon, rain and thunderstorms will affect western areas, spreading toward the east overnight. On Thursday, it will initially be cloudy and rainy with occasional thunderstorms, but cooling will occur during the day. Rainfall will gradually decrease in the afternoon, with clearing skies starting from the northeast. Starting Thursday, a cold front will reach and pass over the region.

On August 29, 2026, Slovenia experienced variable weather conditions with occasional rain showers and thunderstorms. According to the Agency for Environment of the Republic of Slovenia (ARSO), the day began with mostly clear skies over the coast, while inland areas saw partly cloudy conditions with some changes in cloud cover. Rain and thunderstorms were forecasted to occur throughout the day, particularly in the interior regions. Easterly winds blew through the interior of the country. The highest daily temperatures ranged from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, reaching approximately 30 degrees Celsius along the coastal region. In contrast, early morning temperatures varied between 12 and 17 degrees Celsius inland, with coastal areas experiencing around 20 degrees Celsius. By Sunday, the weather was expected to become predominantly sunny, although some fog might linger in lowlands during the morning hours. The weather forecast indicated that Monday would bring sunny conditions and slightly higher temperatures. However, late afternoon and evening hours could see isolated rain showers and thunderstorms primarily affecting northern parts of the country. Tuesday's forecast suggested initially cloudy to overcast conditions, which would gradually clear up during the day. A weakened weather front had passed through Slovenia overnight, bringing cooler and somewhat more humid air from behind it. This transition led to variable cloud cover and the possibility of rain and thunderstorms today, followed by a gradual calming of the atmosphere. Despite this temporary cooling effect, temperatures were expected to rise again in the coming days. In the interior of Slovenia, easterly winds continued to blow, contributing to the dynamic weather patterns observed. The highest daily temperatures remained relatively high, ranging from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, with coastal areas experiencing around 30 degrees Celsius.

This transition led to variable cloud cover and the possibility of rain and thunderstorms today, followed by a gradual calming of the atmosphere. Despite this temporary cooling effect, temperatures were expected to rise again in the coming days. As the evening approached, the weather showed signs of change. Clear skies gave way to increasing cloud cover from the west, with a southwest wind beginning to weaken. Overnight, there was potential for scattered rain showers and thunderstorms, especially in the north and west of Slovenia, accompanied by strong gusts of wind. Minimum temperatures were predicted to range between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius, with lower values around 15 degrees Celsius in the Upper Savinja Valley. For Saturday, partly cloudy conditions with additional rain and thunderstorms were anticipated. Easterly winds would prevail in the interior, with maximum temperatures ranging from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius, reaching approximately 24 degrees Celsius in the Upper Savinja Valley. An orange warning was issued by ARSO for the northwest part of Slovenia due to the possibility of localised thunderstorms. Radar images showed that much of Slovenia remained yellow, indicating possible thunderstorms in western parts of the country. Meteorologists from ARSO noted that Sunday would be predominantly sunny, with morning fog potentially lingering in certain valleys. On Monday, sunny conditions were expected, though late afternoon and evening hours could bring isolated rain showers and thunderstorms in northern Slovenia. Temperatures were expected to rise slightly compared to Sunday. Looking ahead, the area of high atmospheric pressure was expected to begin weakening. A cold front moving across Western and Central Europe would pass through Slovenian territories midweek, followed by the re-establishment of an area of high atmospheric pressure lasting until the end of the following week. Warm and stable air would spread from the west over Slovenian territories. Tuesday would be mainly sunny, with the possibility of isolated rain and thunderstorms in mountainous regions. Wednesday would bring variable to predominantly cloudy conditions, with rain and thunderstorms developing, which would largely subside during the night into Thursday. Temperatures would be slightly cooler, but conditions would gradually improve, becoming predominantly clear from Thursday through Sunday. Daily temperatures would rise again, reaching around 30 degrees Celsius by the end of the week according to current forecasts from the environmental agency.

A heat wave that lasted 34 days, reaching nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit [40°C] in June

The article reports on Slovenia's exceptionally hot summer of 2024, which lasted 34 days and reached temperatures nearing 40°C. According to data from the Environmental Agency (Arso), June, July, and August were all significantly warmer than average, with August being the hottest month since 1950. The temperature deviation from the 1991–2020 reference period was 2.8°C, surpassing previous records. The summer also saw record-breaking sunshine levels and severe drought conditions due to prolonged heat, lack of rainfall, and high solar exposure. Notably, there was no measurable snowfall at Kredarica during the entire summer, marking a historical first. Arso highlights a long-term warming trend, noting that 12 consecutive summers have been hotter than any in the 1953–1991 period.

We have a very unusual night ahead of us, threatening storms with torrential rains and hail, but something more surprising is in store.

After a warm Friday, Slovenia's weather is expected to change in the evening as a weakened cold front moves in, bringing increased thunderstorm activity. According to forecasts from Meteoinfo Slovenia, stronger thunderstorms are likely over the Primorska and Gorenjska regions. These storms, forming over northern Italy, could reach Slovenia around 9 PM. Strong wind gusts, short but intense rainfall, and occasional hail are possible during the storm passage. The upper layers of the atmosphere will cool, increasing atmospheric instability. Due to strong southwest winds at higher altitudes, thunderstorms may merge into larger systems or lines. While the main threat remains in the north, if the system shifts slightly southward, a broader part of Slovenia could be affected overnight. Meteorologists note that temperatures will remain unusually high due to wind and cloud cover, with temperatures potentially reaching between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius in coastal areas and the Bela Krajina region throughout the night.

Despite a shorter day of 35 degrees, why do we have another heat wave in September?

The article discusses unusually high temperatures in September 2026 across southern Germany and Slovenia, attributed to a strong southerly wind pattern caused by a cyclonic area over western and northern Europe combined with a strong anticyclone over the Mediterranean. This creates a 'air pump' effect, bringing hot and dry air masses from North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula into central Europe. While northern coastal areas experience cooler temperatures and heavy rain, southern regions face extreme heat, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 35°C in Slovenia.
