SHMÚ warns of ground frost in Slovakia, cherry trees blossoming mainly in the north

The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute has issued warnings of ground frost, which will threaten vegetation in most of Slovak territory during the night hours. On the night leading into Friday, May 1st, the temperature could drop to as low as minus seven degrees Celsius. The frosts are expected during the growing season, which could cause damage to cultivated plants, including fruit trees that have already blossomed. aktuality.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗

According to data from the SHMÚ, cherry trees are currently blossoming most intensely in the north of Slovakia, with flowering recorded at stations such as Tisovec and Vyšný Medzev in late March and early April, even at higher elevations of up to five hundred meters above sea level. In the Danubian Lowland and in areas such as Abov and Zemplín, the weather was temperature-wise the most favorable, which supported faster vegetation development. Currently, blossoming cherry trees can also be found at higher elevations of approximately seven hundred meters above sea level and higher, mainly in the north of the country. Novy Cas ↗

Meteorologists are warning both home gardeners and professional fruit growers about the freezing weather to prepare to protect their orchards. The situation is set to change in the coming days, when the cold air and frosts will be replaced by warm air originating from the southwest, which will bring exceptionally warm conditions to Central Europe and Slovakia. domov.sme.sk ↗
