The passage of a cold front caused snowfall in Slovenia today.
“With the passage of the cold front, the snowfall limit fell to an altitude of about 2,200 meters above sea level. Snow is falling on Kredarica and Kanin,” announced the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO).
Kredarica and Kanin are located in the Julian Alps in Slovenia.
Kredarica is particularly important for weather monitoring, as it is home to the highest Slovenian meteorological station at 2,514 meters above sea level.
In the past, as well as today, the meteorological station at Kredarica is extremely important for monitoring climate changes in the high mountains and upper layers of the atmosphere. It is also important for monitoring the condition of the nearby Triglav Glacier. The highest snow depth of seven meters was measured on April 22, 2001.
