During Christmas we return to our territory again. Another fall of cold air is approaching and will bring new snow cover, which has hit lower positions. Where can you look forward to a new episode?

Christmas is slowly over. This year’s Christmas Day was marked by significant warming, which surprised Western Slovakia in particular. However, warm air is forced over other parts of our territory.

The most significant warming during the day was recorded in Bratislava, where the temperature rose in just a few minutes from +1 to +11 ° C. During the afternoon, the temperatures between +5 to +10 ° C they also moved in other parts of our territory.

Warming also came under the Tatras. In Poprad, for example, the temperature has climbed up to +4 ° C. However, cooler air has been maintained in difficult and eastern places and temperatures are currently hovering around zero.

Warming during the Christmas Day can be caused by the flow of warmer air from the west, which is located mainly above the Vienna Basin, where the temperature reaches up to +13 ° C.

It will not warm up significantly in our territory. The cold air from the north is already starting to push back over our area from the north. The next hours will return.

Temperatures return to winter values

Cold air will start to push over our territory from the north during the night and the temperature will gradually decrease, especially in the northern half of the territory. It should be so cool in the morning that you will have a frost all day again.

In the rest of Slovakia, on the 1st holiday, Christmas will be from 0 to + 5 ° C, in the west up to + 7 ° C. Cold air is forced over the whole of Slovakia on the night of the 2nd Christmas holiday.

Temperatures on the 2nd Christmas holiday will be below freezing throughout the territory and during the day. Only in the Danubian Lowland can temperatures reach up to +2 ° C.

Another snowfall is coming for us

In addition to cooling, other precipitation is heading for our territory. Light rain is expected in western and central Slovakia already at night. It will be hard to snow.

However, more significant precipitation over the territory decreased significantly during the day. After 12:00, it is necessary to calculate that from the northwest, a more pronounced precipitation field will slide over our territory. Precipitation will be common within 300 meters, but there will be more snowfall elsewhere.

We can look forward to new snow throughout Central and Eastern Slovakia. The most snow falls in the Žilina and Banská Bystrica regions and in Gemer and Spiš, where it can fall up to 10 cm of fresh snow.

So Christmas day has brought warming to our territory, but the coming night will begin to cool and the rest of Christmas will be carried in colder weather.
