Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, sits in a basin surrounded by the Alps and receives around 1,400 mm (about 55 inches) of rain a year, among the wetter European capitals thanks to the surrounding mountains forcing moist air upward and intensifying rainfall throughout the year. Summer brings frequent, sometimes severe convective thunderstorms with hail, while the Ljubljanica river running through the city and the wider Ljubljana Marsh area to the south have a history of seasonal flooding during sustained heavy rain. Because Alpine-influenced weather here can shift quickly and unevenly across short distances, radar is a genuinely practical everyday tool. Slovenia’s Environment Agency, ARSO, operates the national radar network.
