The lowest morning temperatures will be from 16 to 21, in Primorska around 23, the highest daytime temperatures from 21 to 25, in Primorska around 30 °C.
On the pages of Neurje.si, however, they warn that a weather disturbance will pass us on the night of Saturday, when the action will be most intense. “Multicellular storms will appear in areas where we can expect heavy downpours, but hail is not ruled out (the probability is small, but not ruled out). Meteorological models currently indicate that most of the precipitation will fall in the northern half of Slovenia, where over 100 liters of rain can fall in 6 hours square meter. The most recent increase in the total amount of precipitation in the northeast of Slovenia is as much as 170 l/m2 (in 12 hours), which is an extremely high value and we should be very careful about the hydrological situation. In the northern part of the country, we can expect torrential floods and overflows of some watercourses.”
