Meaning
Describing the weather forecast.
Cultural Background
In the mountains, 'Jutri bo sončno' is a green light for hikers. However, locals always add 'but watch for afternoon storms,' as Alpine weather is unpredictable. On the coast, this phrase often implies the 'Burja' wind has cleared the clouds, leading to very bright but potentially windy conditions. In winter, Ljubljana is often covered in fog (megla). Hearing 'Jutri bo sončno' usually means the fog will finally lift, which is a cause for celebration. Slovenians are obsessed with the 'ARSO' weather forecast. If ARSO says 'Jutri bo sončno,' the whole country plans a trip.
