LJUBLJANA, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Last year, temperatures in Slovenia were the highest on record since measurements started, surpassing the previous record year of 2022, the country's Environment Agency (ARSO) said Wednesday.
It also said last summer was the third wettest in the country's history. It was marked by record floods, which killed six people and caused some 3 billion euros (3.3 billion U.S. dollars) worth of damage. By contrast, the summer of 2022 was the third driest ever experienced in Slovenia, sparking extensive wildfires.
