Maribor, in northeastern Slovenia along the Drava river, receives around 1,000 mm (about 39 inches) of rain a year, somewhat less than Ljubljana but still substantial, with a summer peak from convective storms common across the wider Alpine-influenced region. The Drava has a history of elevated levels during sustained heavy rain across its upstream Austrian and Slovenian watershed, a slower risk compared with the faster, more localized summer thunderstorms that affect the city and its well-known wine-growing hillsides more routinely. Because these two hazards unfold so differently, radar is most useful for tracking the faster local storms. Slovenia’s ARSO operates the national radar network.
