The eighth episode of the podcast of Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute is dedicated to the drought, which affects an increasingly large part of Slovakia. You can learn more about drought monitoring and drought impacts in Slovakia, but also about the project Clim4Cast. This project should bring better preparedness on the extreme events such as drought, heat waves and fire weather in the Central European region. The topic is dedicated not only to farmers and foresters, but also to the general public, which is interested in learning more about the monitoring of this phenomenon.
