Rainfall: Severe Water Deficit and a Completely Dry Late June
The long-term June rainfall norm for the region (Kráľová pri Senci) is 61.0 mm. None of our stations came anywhere near this requirement. The highest monthly total was recorded in Lehnice-Sása, reaching only a subpar 34.5 mm. Malý Lég collected 26.5 mm, Blahová 22.0 mm, Dunajská Streda 20.9 mm, and Janíky registered a critical low of 17.6 mm.
Almost the entire monthly precipitation was concentrated around June 9 and 10 (Lehnice-Sása measured 15.0 mm on June 9, and Blahová gathered 9.9 mm on June 10). Following this short damp period, a severe dry spell began: after June 21, not a single drop of rain was registered across our network, highlighting an alarming summer drought.
Temperature: Mild Beginning Followed by a Record-Breaking Heatwave
The first half of June featured pleasant, moderate summer conditions. June 16 brought a particularly crisp morning, with the minimum temperature in Blahová dropping to +7.9 °C.
However, a radical shift occurred on June 19 as a massive African air mass surged into the region, initiating a relentless, escalating heatwave. The absolute peak occurred on June 29, when maximum afternoon temperatures reached an astonishing +38.5 °C in Blahová. Daily highs consistently exceeded +36 °C from June 26 onward, and the month concluded with tropical nights (on June 27 and 30, nighttime minimums stayed above +22 °C), causing severe heat stress.
