Changes in snow cover depth and occurrence influence also the regime of other
climatic variables, weather and climate, predominantly during the February to
May season (snowmelt, soil moisture, spring temperature rise, growing season
shift, spring wildfire risk etc.). Wildfires occurred in Slovakia also in altitudes
above 1000 m a.s.l. during the last 20 years, the most vulnerable seems the southern
half of Slovakia. Figs. 8 and 9 shows that precipitation scenarios are not equal
using different models, but several options have similar patterns.

OTHER CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOS
Climate change scenarios have been designed for Slovakia since 1992. The first
generation of scenarios was quite simple assessment of possible mean air temperature
and mean precipitation totals changes in the future 30-year time frames
compared to 1951–1980 climatic normals. Then more complex scenarios have
been prepared for selected localities and regions in Slovakia (1st Slovak National
