Slovakia records a new all-time temperature high for a second consecutive day as a wider heatwave affects Central Europe. Slovakia’s national weather agency reports that temperatures reach 42.2°C in the southern village of Dolne Plachtince on Friday. The new reading surpasses the previous Slovak record of 41.4°C set in southwestern Slovakia the day before. The reports describe the heat as part of a continuing heatwave that tightens across the region, with similarly extreme temperatures observed across Central Europe. Both outlets present the event as a consecutive-day national benchmark, highlighting that the peak value rises rather than stabilizes. The weather agency’s measurements establish the latest record, and the earlier figure is cited as the prior all-time high. The coverage focuses on the temperature readings and their comparison with previous national records, rather than on specific impacts, mitigation steps, or causes.
