Abstract

Exceptionally warm weather in March and the greater part of April triggered earlier plant phenological development in the spring of 2016. After above average warm weather in the period from April 25 to 27 2016, a mass of cold polar air passed over Slovenia. Some areas were affected by the extensive cold air passing, which caused a late spring frost and snow. The frost and snow affected 4416 people in 107 municipalities on 7,706 ha of agricultural land. The estimated damage to the afflicted areas was 44,280,700.88 euros, including damage to fittings, crop yields and in plantations. Direct damage exceeded 0.3 ‰ of the projected state budget for year 2016, which is the threshold for state aid.
