A weather warning has been issued for central and northwest Slovenia as severe thunderstorms move through the region. According to the Environment Agency (Arso), a band of stronger thunderstorms passed through the Koroška and Styria regions in the afternoon before shifting toward the northwestern part of the country by evening. The movement of these storms can be tracked using radar imagery available on Arso's website.
The heatwave currently affecting parts of Slovenia, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, has combined with the arrival of these powerful thunderstorms. This combination has led to heavy rainfall and other weather-related challenges in several areas. In the afternoon, the storm activity reached the Koroška and Pohorje regions, where conditions began to shift towards rain by evening. A more intense thunderstorm cell started forming over the northwest of the country, specifically in the Gorenjska region and central Slovenia.
An orange-level alert remains in effect until midnight for the northwest of Slovenia and central Slovenia, while the rest of the country is under a yellow-level alert for thunderstorms. Radar images show how precipitation is moving across the area. These images update approximately every three minutes, reflecting the start time of each measurement cycle, which lasts about five minutes. Due to continuous measurements taken every five minutes, the radar systems operate almost non-stop without interruption. The time displayed in the top-left corner of the radar image is recorded in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). During summer, local time in Slovenia is two hours ahead of UTC, meaning that if the image shows 7:00, it corresponds to 9:00 local time.
The storm system has already impacted the city of Maribor, where a significant amount of rain fell within a short period, causing water to accumulate on roads. Similar issues were reported in the Koroška region, where hail was also observed. The situation in Maribor highlights the intensity of the storm activity, with rapid accumulation of water leading to temporary road closures and traffic disruptions.
According to meteorologists' forecasts, thunderstorm activity could continue into the evening. However, by nightfall, the storm activity is expected to gradually subside. Despite this, residents and authorities remain vigilant, monitoring the evolving weather conditions and preparing for potential further developments.
The impact of these storms has raised concerns among local communities and officials, who are working to ensure public safety and manage any infrastructure challenges caused by the sudden and heavy rainfall. Emergency services have been placed on standby to respond to any incidents related to flooding or other weather-related emergencies.
As the day progresses, the focus shifts to tracking the movement of the storm cells and assessing their potential effects on surrounding areas. Meteorological experts continue to monitor the situation closely, providing updates and guidance to help the public stay informed and prepared. With the possibility of continued thunderstorm activity, the emphasis remains on vigilance and readiness for any changes in weather conditions that may occur throughout the evening.

N1 SlovenijaIndipendenteCentroFattualità 80Obiettività 7518 gg faUna fascia di temporali più forti si è spostata attraverso Koroško e Štajersko nel pomeriggio, con l'attenzione spostata verso il nord-ovest della Slovenia per la sera. Le tempeste hanno portato forti piogge, causando l'accumulo di acqua sulle strade in aree come Maribor e Koroško. L'Agenzia per l'Ambiente (Arso) ha emesso un avviso arancione per le parti nord-occidentali e centrali della Slovenia, mentre altre regioni hanno ricevuto un avviso giallo. Le immagini radar mostrano il movimento delle precipitazioni, anche se l'ora visualizzata riflette l'inizio delle misurazioni, che richiedono circa cinque minuti. I meteorologi prevedono che l'attività di temporali potrebbe continuare fino alla sera prima di diminuire gradualmente.
