Cold Snap Alert: Temperatures in Czech Republic to Plummet to -6°C

Prepare for a noticeably chillier week across the Czech Republic, as temperatures are set to drop sharply, potentially reaching lows of -6 degrees Celsius in some areas.

The Czech Meteorological Institute warns of frost and icy roads, especially on bridges where freezing fog or even clear skies could lead to slippery conditions. Drivers are advised to exercise caution, as frost and fog may make roads treacherous.

The average daily highs will hover around a brisk 7°C, but expect frost overnight.

Night temperatures are forecasted to range between +2°C and -2°C, with the most intense cooling anticipated mid-week when some valleys may see the mercury dip to -6°C. Occasional drizzle and light rain are expected, with snowfall likely in mountainous areas.

Fog and low clouds will blanket many regions, with freezing fog possible in some areas.

The week will bring mostly light, variable winds up to 4 m/s, though by Wednesday, a moderate easterly wind reaching 6 m/s is expected. Daytime highs will vary between 2°C and 6°C, with temperatures climbing to 7°C in areas that enjoy prolonged sunshine.

As the weekend approaches, the chilly trend will continue, with cloudy to overcast skies and more frequent freezing fog. Nighttime temperatures are expected to fall to -4°C on Friday and over the weekend, while daily highs will remain in the range of 3°C to 8°C.

Meteorologists encourage residents to prepare for persistent cold and be cautious on the roads due to frost and fog, which can lead to sudden patches of ice on bridges and other exposed surfaces.
