Summer on Hold: Cold Fronts Bring Rain and Cooler Days to Czechia
Prague Morning

Summer is taking a break across Czechia this week as a series of cold fronts sweep through Central Europe, dragging in cooler, damp air from the northwest.
The cooling began Monday, when a wavy cold front moved eastward across the country. Storms rolled through overnight into the morning hours, bringing rain and noticeably lower temperatures. Daytime highs hovered between 20 and 24°C, though some western parts briefly reached 26°C. Overnight, the mercury dipped to as low as 12°C in the west, with a moderate southwest to west wind persisting throughout the day.
The situation is expected to worsen by Tuesday night into Wednesday, when a secondary cold front and a low-pressure system over eastern Poland deepen. These systems are set to keep skies cloudy to overcast, with persistent and sometimes heavy rainfall, particularly in Moravia and Silesia.
By Wednesday, the west of the country may see partial clearing, with isolated afternoon showers. In contrast, the east will remain cloudy and wet, with ongoing heavy rain possible in northeastern regions. Daytime temperatures will peak between 18 and 22°C, though in rain-affected zones, they may remain around 16°C. Winds from the northwest will pick up, with gusts reaching 15 m/s.
A split weather pattern emerges Thursday. The west will dry out, with partly cloudy skies and only scattered showers. However, the east will stay under thick cloud cover, with frequent rain—some of it still heavy in the northeast. Conditions should start to improve later in the day.
By Friday, the low-pressure system over Poland should begin to lose its influence. Most of Czechia will experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions, with occasional showers. The northeast may still see light rain, but nothing as intense as earlier in the week. Daytime temperatures will again climb to 21–25°C, while the northeast may stay slightly cooler.
