A Severe Storm With Hail Swept Over Slovenia

The municipalities of Miren-Kostanjevica and Renče-Vogrsko were the most affected, where the city covered roofs and damaged cars and buildings.

Slovenia was hit by a strong storm with hail last night, and the Environmental Agency issued a red warning due to the high probability of strong hail, wind and heavy downpours, the Tanjug agency reports.

A severe storm first affected Goriška brda, Nova Gorica and Ljubljana, and then Dolenjska. The municipalities of Miren-Kostanjevica and Renče-Vogrsko were the most affected, where the city covered roofs and damaged cars and buildings.

The city was in some places five or more centimeters in diameter.

Part of the army on standby

The Environmental Agency announced that in the next 36 hours, all warnings from meteorologists, members of civil protection and other competent services, indicating the recurrence of severe storms, should be followed.

Civil Protection Commander Srečko Šestan warned that it is necessary to follow all instructions of civil protection, firefighters and police. He issued an order to increase alertness, which is in effect until Thursday morning.

Part of the Slovenian army is also on standby and is already helping in some areas, Šestan added.
