Slovakia weather overview

Slovakia is a hilly, landlocked state in Central Europe. Its central position brings a mixed climate influenced both by the mild, wet weather of Atlantic Europe and the hot summers and icy winters of Russia. As a result, summers are warm but frequently rainy, prone to disturbances blowing in from the northern Mediterranean.

Winters are cold and wet, particularly on high ground where heavy snows linger for up to four months. An occasional spell of settled winter weather can bring a run of cold but crisp, bright days but life gets very nasty when easterly winds howl in from Russia bringing severe cold snaps.

What to pack for Slovakia weather

Wrap up warmly for a winter visit and supplement lighter clothing with warm cover-ups, even in the summer. Go prepared for rain.
