The lowest temperature fell in Vígľaš-Pstruša, where in the morning, according to operational data, we measured minus 25.6 degrees Celsius. Such a low temperature has not occurred in the network of our stations since February 13, 2021, when it was minus 26.6 degrees Celsius in Hajnáček in the south of central Slovakia,” meteorologists wrote.
