Cold Weather and Snow at Lower Altitudes Possible Next Week in Czechia

Czechia is set to experience a drop in temperatures next week, with the possibility of snow, even at lower altitudes, for the first time this season. Meteorologists warn that the pleasant autumn weather we’ve enjoyed recently will soon be replaced by a cold front sweeping in from the north. So far, the second half of October has been relatively mild, with comfortable autumn temperatures. However, according to meteorologists, cold air will begin flowing into Central Europe, significantly lowering temperatures. “The snowfall limit could drop rapidly from the current 3,000 meters to just 300 meters,” meteorologists from the Weather portal predict. This means that snowfall could occur at lower elevations for the first time in the 2024/2025 season. Until now, snow has only been seen in the mountains. However, there’s no need to worry about heavy snowfalls just yet. “The 300-meter limit is an extreme scenario for now. While it will get cold, a sudden snowstorm is unlikely,” meteorologists caution. They further add that a notable cooling is “relatively certain” between October 27 and November 10. A similar forecast has been issued by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ). They explain that a high-pressure system will move eastward early next week, and the...

Prague’s Petřín Tower Lights Up to Honor Czechoslovak Independence Day

On the evening of Monday, October 28, Prague’s iconic Petřín Tower, will be lit in the Czech national colors to celebrate Czechoslovak Independence Day. A similar event is scheduled for November 17, in commemoration of the Day of Struggle for Freedom and Democracy in the country. It’s worth noting that Petřín Tower stands out as one of the few landmarks in Prague where decorative lights remain on throughout the night. Events are being held around the country to mark Czechoslovak Independence Day commemorating the founding of Czechoslovakia on October 28, 1918, and honoring the country’s co-founder and first president Tomas Guarrigue Masaryk. The highlight of the celebrations is a ceremony at Prague Castle on Saturday evening, at which President Pavel will hand out high state distinctions to 60 people for outstanding services to the country. Petřín Tower, one of the most prominent landmarks of Prague, was built as part of the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 as a loose copy inspired by the Eiffel Tower (at a ratio of 1:5). It is 58.70 metres high, and 299 steps lead to its peak, which is at the same altitude as the real Eiffel Tower. The view from its top overlooks not only...

Slovakia Clears Andrej Babiš of Collaboration with Communist Secret Police

The Slovak Ministry of the Interior has reached a settlement with former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, resolving a long-standing dispute over his alleged involvement with the communist-era State Security (StB). The case revolved around Babiš’s unauthorized registration as a StB agent, which he has consistently denied. On October 11, 2024, the Bratislava IV Municipal Court approved the settlement, which acknowledged that Babiš was wrongly listed as an StB agent under the code name “Bureš” with registration number 25085. According to the agreement, Babiš did not knowingly cooperate with the StB. As part of the settlement, Babiš has agreed not to pursue any further claims for damages or compensation against the Slovak state. He also pledged to withdraw complaints filed with the European Court of Human Rights and waived all financial claims related to the case. Ministry spokesperson Matej Neumann stated, “Andrej Babiš has agreed not to seek financial compensation, and he will also withdraw all pending complaints.” The ministry chose to settle after evaluating the legal and financial risks associated with continuing the lawsuit. Two external legal analyses commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior indicated a high likelihood of losing the case, which could have resulted in substantial...

St. Martin’s Day, which Czechs celebrate on November 11, is a holiday of good food and drink. Autumn slowly alternates with winter, and it begins to snow. In the past, the economic year was ending at this time, and the landowners were preparing a feast for their people as a form of thanks, when they were also paid out their wages. And what about today? Today, the feast of St. Martin is a great opportunity to bring a little joy to life! Traditionally, fattened geese are roasted on 11 November, and the first bottles of young wine open at exactly 11:11 am. St. Martin wines are fresh and young, as they only have a few weeks to mature.
