Weather in High Tatras Mts.
Stará Lesná village is situated on the southern
foothills of High Tatras Mts. at the altitude of 800 m.
In June, we can expect beautiful weather with
temperatures reaching 25 degrees of Celsius. However, it is common in high
mountains, that weather can rapidly turn for the worse with temperatures
around zero with heavy rainfalls and sometime also with snowfall.
Please, be prepared for all kinds of the weather.
You can find actual satellite view of weather in
Slovakia on web site of
