How bad is flood risk in Slovenia in 2026?

OECD and national risk framing point to meaningful population exposure along river systems, with particular attention in parts of the Mura and Sava regions. Ljubljana, Celje, and Maribor all have neighbourhoods where ground-floor and riverside listings need extra diligence. Steep wet slopes also raise landslide questions after long rains, especially in parts of the wetter south-east.

Ask landlords about past water in hallways and basements, not only the marketing photo: How to rent a home. Use ARSO hydro-meteorological warnings when cells stack for days.

Open flood-risk and environment map layers such as ARSO’s Environmental Atlas tools, then confirm local municipal notes for the exact street.
