The Slovenian Environment Agency has issued an orange storm warning for the entire country. In some places, showers and storms have already started to appear, which may intensify in the next few hours. During stronger local downpours, small streams may rise, landslides may also be triggered, and hail is also possible.
The first showers and thunderstorms have begun to appear over the hills of western and southern Slovenia, and stormy events are already spreading. Southeast of Ljubljana, a strong storm arose around 3 p.m. and spread towards the center of Ljubljana. The storm was accompanied by a very violent downpour with hail up to two centimeters, he reported Meteoinfo. The storm is slowly moving westward. The storm was also accompanied by a significant cooling, the temperature dropped to only 13 degrees Celsius.
“With stronger local downpours, small streams can rise, landslides can also be triggered, hail is also possible,” point to Meteoinfo. The greatest chance that it will remain dry today is in the extreme northeast of Slovenia and by the sea.
It is very likely that the storms will merge into larger systems that will slowly spread from the west towards the east of Slovenia. At the same time, the main danger will be violent downpours, which may continue over certain areas for more than an hour. Stronger gusts of wind and hail are also locally possible.
