- The heat in Slovakia will peak at the end of this week and the beginning of next week.
- The probability of precipitation in the next few days is low, the weather will remain very dry.
- The first precipitation will arrive early next week, mostly in the form of thunderstorms.
The heat will peak late this week and early next week. Temperatures from 30 degrees in the north and 39 degrees in the southwest are expected. Even the border of 40 degrees can be attacked. At the same time, the probability of precipitation is low. Cooling appears on July 1-2. Nikoleta Hrušková, a meteorologist at the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ), informed about this at Tuesday’s press conference.
“The pressure height over the interior of Europe is stable not only in the ground layer, but also in the higher layers of the atmosphere. It becomes stationary to blocking for frontal systems that move inland from the Atlantic Ocean. These frontal systems do not actually reach the interior, or if they get in, they will quickly disintegrate under high pressure,” explained Hrušková.
In the coming days, he expects mainly dry weather and very little precipitation. Very warm to extremely warm weather will prevail. According to Hrušková, the night temperatures should mostly range from 21 to 22 degrees, in the mountain valleys it will be a bit colder.
He claims that the first precipitation could come to Slovakia on Monday (June 29) or Tuesday (June 30). However, they will be in the form of showers or storms, it will not be all-over rain. According to the expert, even intense storms should not occur now, they are possible at the beginning of next week.
“In this forecast, several forecast models agree, and this is also due to the fact that the pressure height is stationary and stable, so the deviations between the predictions of some forecast models are minimal. Also, the deviation in the development of temperature, precipitation or cloudiness until the next few days is also minimal, so it must be assumed that the success of the forecast will be high,” stated the meteorologist.
