Meteorologists warn that on Monday, 29 June, the country could break its all-time temperature record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">On Sunday, 28 June, the temperature in Bratislava reached 39.5\u00b0C, the highest ever recorded in the capital. The previous record, set in 2013, was exceeded by 0.1\u00b0C. According to climatologist Jozef Pecho, temperatures above 39\u00b0C have been recorded in Bratislava only twice since meteorological observations began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Temperatures also exceeded 39\u00b0C at several weather stations across the country. The hottest locations were Kamenica nad Hronom in southern Slovakia and Tur\u0148a nad Bodvou in the east. Across almost the entire country, at elevations below 1,000 metres above sea level, meteorologists recorded a tropical day, meaning that temperatures remained above 25\u00b0C throughout the 24-hour period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Slovakia&#8217;s all-time temperature record, however, still stands. The highest officially recorded temperature remains 40.3\u00b0C, measured in Hurbanovo on 20 July 2007.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to forecasters, the peak of the heatwave is still ahead. On Monday, a red (Level 3) weather warning for extreme heat is in effect across almost the entire country. Daytime temperatures are expected to reach 33\u201340\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23557\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23557\" style=\"width: 1206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23557\" src=\"https:\/\/barikada.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/30.jpg\" alt=\"\u0423\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0438 \u043c\u0435\u0442\u0435\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u043e\u043f\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438 \u0438\u0437-\u0437\u0430 \u0436\u0430\u0440\u044b \u0432 \u0421\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0438 30 \u0438\u044e\u043d\u044f 2026 \u0433\u043e\u0434\u0430. \u0418\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0438\u043a: \u0421\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0446\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0433\u0438\u0434\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0435\u0442\u0435\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0438\u0442\u0443\u0442 (SHM\u00da)\" width=\"1206\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barikada.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/30.jpg 1206w, https:\/\/barikada.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/30-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barikada.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/30-768x371.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1206px) 100vw, 1206px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heat warning levels in Slovakia for 30 June 2026.
