In the last two decades, Slovenia is observing catastrophic droughts and abundant precipitation resulting in floods, sometimes drought and floods occur even within the same year.

Assessment of climate changes in Slovenia by the end of the 21st century, 2018 (17. 02. 2021)
Black dots indicate cells with a reliable trend, red dots cells with an unreliable trend. The trend is not significant in other cells (detected changes are smaller than the natural variability).
European Environment Agency, Indicators, 2016. (17. 02. 2021)
The figure shows projected changes in the number of days with snow between the periods 1971-2000 and 2041-2070. Left figure shows snowfall over 1cm, the right snowfall over 10 cm. In Slovenia, it is expected to reduce the number of days with snow at least 1 cm from 1 to 5 days and sometimes up to 10 days. For heavier snowfall over 10 cm per day, for the most part of the country is not expected to change significantly.
European Environment Agency, Indicators, 2016. (17. 02. 2021)
The figure show change in heavy rainfall (in percent) between the periods 1971-2000 and 2071-2100 in the adverse scenario of rising greenhouse gases. On the left are the changes in the winter period and on the right changes in the summer period. In summer, figure shows a small increase in the northeast of Slovenia and in winter significant increase throughout the country.
