The heat wave follows previous days, during which level three warnings were already in effect across most of Slovakia. Meteorologists warned that on Tuesday temperatures could exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and the heat wave is expected to continue until Thursday. According to available information, the extreme temperatures were set to peak precisely on Wednesday. SITA ↗

The warnings mainly concern daytime hours, when being outdoors can be risky for sensitive population groups. High temperatures are also worsening conditions in cities and lowlands, and after tropical nights they increase strain on the body. Drought and hot weather also significantly raise the risk of fires breaking out. domov.sme.sk ↗

The situation remains dependent on further weather developments over the coming hours and days. Since the heat wave is expected, according to available information, to persist until Thursday, residents should monitor current warnings and adjust their outdoor activities, travel, and work accordingly. teraz.sk ↗
