I quite agree, similar is my decision for the next Jalovec visit. To Vršič it drags like chicken guts and even uphill, kills morale

Regarding the starting point we can still reconsider of course. But I kindly ask for an answer about tomorrow's weather. Should we head out on the tour tomorrow or not?

Maks, you've set up the tour fine.
Path from Vršič to Špička is easy and, if rain catches you, you can walk calmly with umbrella or raincoat. Wet clothes you'll dry overnight in the hut.
Start the ascent to Jalovec the next day as early as possible, it'll be ok.
Regards

Maks, for yesterday the Saturday forecast for mountains was bad - but no rain anywhere, in Primorske and western Julijci even lots of sun. All previously mentioned forecasts messed up on that...
You'll have to decide yourself.
According to the current forecast, the safest is to be at the hut around noon, afternoon depending on conditions explore surroundings a bit e.g. climb to Škrbina behind Grad (marked), maybe from there to Mali Ozebnik (unmarked, harder). Next day early start to summit for nicer view.

Thanks everyone sincerely for replies and advice!
Wife gathered courage and called the meteorological station at Kredarica, where they advised against tomorrow's tour and suggested doing it on Wednesday and Thursday. That's what we'll do and start towards Špička on Wednesday instead of tomorrow.

Tomorrow evening will have perfect weather. If you start around half past five from Trenta, you'll be at the hut before dark, and Wednesday morning doesn't look like rain either (source: meteo).
From Vršič it really drags. Similar mistake as hiking to Triglav from Pokljuka instead of e.g. Krma, when people think the tour will be less strenuous with less elevation gain, but actually it's a much longer path and you're constantly going a bit up a bit down, so you're more worn out in the end...

If you want to go to the mountains, your last worry is asking about the weather here or calling Kredarica. The guys there are super, but they can't tell you anything extra precise, just as much as you yourself at the computer on some three smart forecast pages.
Wednesday should be surely dry, go in the morning and you'll be back long before evening. You're overcomplicating, if you don't want to go home, sleep at Vršič and Thursday hit another peak
Good luck

I agree with ana. To me also the path from Trenta is more "friendly", although bigger elevation difference.

Thanks for good wishes and advice, redbull. Still we'll do Jalovec in two days. First we're both over 60, second we want to savor the King with full lungs and keep it in warm memory that'll warm us all winter to next spring.
In the end we must ask what huts would do if all hikers were like you for whom every mostly demanding tour is play.
These are of course well-meant words, since I often admire you and drool over your tours.

This week is quite humid. There will surely be a thunderstorm, but take an anorak. It's important to be at the top at 07.30 if you start from the shelter at 05.30.

But if you're there at 7:35, it might still be okay too. Maybe.
