All-time national record in danger!

All Saharan air already in the next hours will shift from Italy and Balkan to East-Central Europe, with a possibility of an all-time temperature record in Slovakia!

Just a Slovakia will have on Thursday the largest temperature anomalies from the long-term average in the wider region.

GFS sees a potential for +40°C in southwestern parts of the country, +40,0°C and more was reached in the country only 2-times.

In July 2007, in Hurbanovo maximum temperature reached +40,3°C, and in Dudince +40,2°C.

In August 2013 in Gabčíkovo, near the Hungarian and Austrian border, +40,3°C was measured, but the value was calibrated to +40,2°C later.

There is 8. July 2021 a chance for the +40,0°C temperatures and higher the 3rd time in history or temperature will stop under extreme threshold? Or even, all-time national temperature record will be broken?

In the lowlands in the Southwest, subtropical nights above +25,0°C are at the next 2 nights forecasted and it should be a predictor of historically hot weather, too.

In neighboring Hungary, the temperature should reach +40/+41°C, but the all-time national record has a value of +41,9°C from July 2007.

In Austria, +40,5°C was measured in August 2013 and on Thursday, +39/+40°C should be measured.

Temperatures in Moravia should reach +38/+39°C and southern Poland up to +36/+37°C, but all-time records for countries have values +40,4°C (Czechia, August 2012) and +40,2°C (Poland, July 1921).

Balkan countries should reach +42°C, but all-time records have values +42/+47°C in the region. In Italy, +45°C should be broken, again.
