Snowfall Warning Issued Across the Czech Republic

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) has issued a snowfall warning, effective from 10:00 PM on Thursday, November 21, until 12:00 PM on Friday, November 22.

The advisory primarily applies to the country’s eastern regions, where significant snowfall is expected to impact daily life and transportation.

Meteorologists predict 5 to 12 centimeters of snow accumulating within 12 hours in areas including the South Moravian, Zlín, Olomouc, and Moravian-Silesian regions.

Parts of the Highlands and Pardubice regions will also experience snowfall. The snow is not limited to mountainous regions but will also cover lowland areas, marking the season’s first significant snow cover at all altitudes.

Transportation Warnings

Authorities have cautioned that the snowfall will likely cause disruptions in transportation networks, especially on roads and highways. Drivers are urged to remain vigilant, monitor traffic updates, and equip their vehicles appropriately for winter conditions.

“This is the first major snowfall of the season, expected to create complications across all elevations,” reads the official statement from ČHMÚ. “We strongly recommend using winter tires with sufficient tread depth for city driving and anti-skid chains for mountain trips.”

Residents in affected areas are advised to prepare for potential disruptions, including delays in public transport and school closures.
