Brace for the Cold: Czech Republic Faces -12 °C Temperatures

A significant cold snap is approaching the Czech Republic, with meteorologists predicting a sharp drop in temperatures next week.

On Monday, temperatures will dip to -2 to -6 °C. Daily highs are not expected to exceed -3 to 1 °C, and the snow cover could reach around -9 °C.

The bitterly cold weather is not exclusive to the Czech Republic, with the German website The Weather Channel warning that Monday night could be the coldest of the entire winter so far for parts of central Europe. Temperatures of up to -15 degrees, and even -20 degrees in some mountainous areas, are expected.

However, Tuesday will bring an even greater drop in temperature. Lowest night temperatures are predicted to be -5 to -10 °C, with the snow cover reaching around -12 °C. Daytime highs will struggle to climb above -3 to +1 °C, with the southwestern half of Bohemia potentially seeing up to +3 °C.

Meteorologists attribute this cold front to a high-pressure system spreading from western to central Europe, which will also lead to the passage of a cold front through the country on Tuesday evening.

However, the extreme cold is not expected to last long in the Czech Republic.

On Wednesday, the weather will be predominantly cloudy, with occasional rain, including the possibility of freezing rain. Snowfall is expected, particularly in the northeastern half of the region. Temperatures will reach a maximum of five degrees Celsius above zero, accompanied by a moderate northwest-to-west wind blowing at two to six meters per second. Conditions will remain similar on Thursday.

From Friday to Sunday, we can anticipate clear to partly clear skies, with fog or low clouds developing in some areas.

Daily high temperatures will range from two to seven degrees Celsius; however, in areas with low clouds or fog, temperatures may hover around zero.
