What’s the weather like in Slovenia?
The Slovenian countryside is at its most beautiful in the sunshine. But what weather can you expect in Slovenia? What can you do to avoid the rain? And which time of year is best to visit Slovenia?
Weather information Slovenia
Often, the weather in Slovenia is better than forecasted. If it rains, it rarely lasts the whole day. Plus, the weather can vary greatly between different parts of the country. So you can head to an area where it isn’t raining. Check the official Slovenian weather site for up-to-date information: https://meteo.arso.gov.si/
Rain radar Slovenia
You can also check the weather in Slovenia on many international sites like Buienradar. But beware: due to the mountains, the effect of cloud cover in the west and north is very different to that in the Netherlands. So, a rain shower doesn’t travel across the country as it would in the Netherlands! The mountain ranges mean you can’t just predict a shower’s path. That’s why you won’t find the same radar forecasts as in the Netherlands.
The Slovenian weather website (Meteo) gives the most reliable picture of the current showers. You’ll also find Meteo offers accurate forecasts for the coming days for mornings (zjutraj) and afternoons (popoldne).
The best period for your holiday
Slovenia is a lovely holiday destination all year round. But for the best weather and the most beautiful countryside, it’s best to visit between May and September. This is holiday season in Slovenia.
Winter sports in Slovenia
You can also enjoy winter sports in Slovenia between December and March. But not everywhere guarantees snow or good weather. Especially on the higher ski slopes like Vogel and Kravec you have the best chance of snow in winter.
