Rain is falling over western Slovakia and storms are forming. It will rain heavily until the morning, which will ignite the drought – iMeteo.sk

The weather in our territory is beginning to be affected by the cold front from the west, which brings the first precipitation and even storms. In the coming hours, precipitation will spread to other parts of our territory. Most of our territory is currently dominated by clear to semi-cloudy weather, but this is not the case in northwestern and western Slovakia, where there is a lot of clouds, which is related to the moving cold front. At the moment, it brings a band of heavier and more permanent rain over Austria and the Czech Republic, which will also slide over our territory in the evening. Even before this precipitation zone, however, it is necessary to take into account the formation of showers and storms, which are already forming over the Záhorie area. Expect storms, especially in the west. In front of the cold front, the air mass above our territory is still labilizing, and in this unstable air, showers and storms are forming. The first storms are already taking place in our territory and will continue to do so in the coming hours. At the moment, storms are occurring in the Záhorie area, and they are not very dangerous. They only intensify the rain. Further storms should build over western Slovakia until later in the evening. However, during storms, no significant dangerous side effects are expected. Thunderstorms will not even create more significant storm units due to weak dynamics. The storms will move in line from south to north. The West is waiting for a heavier rain What the inhabitants of western Slovakia can look forward to today are more significant rainfall, which is expected especially in the evening and at night. The precipitation field related to the cold front will gradually slide over the whole of western Slovakia. It will bring rain until noon tomorrow, during which 20-30 mm of rain will fall. After the storms in recent days, the annual total precipitation of about 30 mm is missing in the west, and the upcoming precipitation will thus help to balance the precipitation balance and we can also reach a deficit surplus in Bratislava. During the day, the cold front will move further east and storms together with precipitation are already expected, especially in central and eastern Slovakia.
