The presented work provides a detailed view of climate change and its impact on the temperature conditions in Slovakia. It analyses the occurrence of tropical and supertropical days from the past to the present in the most fertile part of Slovakia. The results show that there has been an overall increase in the number of tropical and supertropical days in the Danubian Lowland and the Danubian Hills between 1961 and 2020, which is partly due to an increase in average temperatures and weather extremes. The locality of Ziharec recorded the largest number of tropical days in the last decade (369 days). If we compare it in this locality with the coldest decade 1971-80, when it was 117 days, then it represents a percentage increase of 135%. For comparison, the increase of tropical days in the locality Banska Stiavnica is from 14 days to 105 days (650 %) in a decade and the locality is not in the warmest areas of Slovakia. For agriculture in the Danubian Lowland and the Danubian Hills, the overall increase in tropical and supertopic days, together with the uneven distribution of precipitation, has a negative effect on the drying up of the country. Rising temperatures and an increase in the number of tropical and supertropical days could be partly positive, especially in the growth of phytomass and higher biomass yields, provided if there is a sufficient supply of water in the soil. |
