Slovenia beats the all-time national record with below 20 °C this mo ning. Numerous
nearly 100 years old records broken with extreme cold across Europe

Many areas in Slovenia reached their coldest Ap il mo ning over the last 100 years! The
official meteorological station Nova vas na Blokah peaked at 20.6 °C which has set a new all-
time national record for the month of Ap il since the records began. Numerous extreme cold
records also across other pa ts of central and weste n Europe, deep freeze and mo ning
frosts have been dest uctive.

As we expected, the weather models were not wrong this time. An unpreceded extreme cold
has ve ified across many pa ts of Europe this Wednesday mo ning, following the significant
and histo ic snow a day before. Snowfall with some accumulation
was repo ted even at the seaside in Slovenia and Croatia islands Kva ner area).

In Slovenia, the weather station Nova vas na Blokah hit 20.6 °C and set the new official
lowest temperature for Ap il (the previous record at the station Nova vas was 18.0 °C set on
Ap il 4th, 1970 . There was another record of 26.1 °C recorded with an unofficial weather
station in the village Retje near Loški Potok.

The previous official record for Slovenia was held by station Pokljuka (elevation approx 1350
m ASL , with 20.4 °C set back on Apr 9th, 1956.

Many areas across the no the n Balkans have seen even lower temperatures than they were
du ing the last winter 2020/21. In the case of the Notranjska region in Slovenia (e.g. stations
Nova vas na Blokah, Postojna, and Babno Polje) this was the colder mo ning of the winter.

2021 set a new record having temperatures lower in Ap il than Janua y. Even if it happens in
March, it is extremely rare. This is just a plain example of how extremely cold and histo ic
vent this event and this mo ning was for Ap il.

The main reason for these extreme cold records is the Arctic cold air mass that spread
across a large pa t of Europe this week. Clear (no clouds) nights with barely any winds and
fresh snow on the ground with d y air mass in the mid-levels are
an ideal recipe for extremely cooling in the nighttime hours.

Unfo tunately, these temperatures were so extremely low that the ongoing blossoming f uit
trees and early growing states of the vegetation were simply bu ned and destroyed.

Ve y low temperatures with record-breaking cold and damaging frost ware also repo ted
from pa ts of England, France, Ge many, around the Alps, Italy, and Croatia.

Now, another night with ve y low temperatures is expected, with possibly again going well
below 10 °C in many areas. This will give vegetation just another kick and worsen the
situation and damage done. Sadly, this is the 5th year among the
last 6 years when sp ing damaging frost occurs. There will also be cold again on F iday
mo ning.
 It might be the new no mal as the wa ming pe iods at the end of winter and in early sp ing
are becoming quite frequent lately. This helps vegetation to sta t earlier than usual, making it
even more vulnerable for any potential cold outbreaks that no mally follow at the end of
March or within the month of Ap il.
