Czech Republic Braces for Cold Snap: Temperatures Drop Below Freezing

On Sunday night, temperatures across the Czech Republic plummeted below freezing, with more cold weather forecast for the coming days.

Ground frosts are expected in the early mornings, with the coldest night predicted to be Monday. According to meteorologists, the worst of the cold front is yet to come.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute reports that Sunday morning saw the coldest temperatures in the Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, and northern Bohemia regions.

“We are currently seeing ground frost at several stations, with temperatures hovering around 2°C at two meters above ground level,” meteorologists stated early Sunday morning.

The lowest temperatures were recorded in frost basins located in the Bohemian Forest. Hliniste and Volary dropped to -2.9°C, while Březník measured -2.6°C. Kvilda, Labská bouda, and Šerák also experienced sub-zero temperatures. Despite the freezing start, daytime highs could reach 14°C in some areas, although skies will mostly remain cloudy.

Meteorologists attribute the cold spell to cold air flowing from the northwest, which is expected to bring even colder conditions by Monday night.

The average minimum nighttime temperature could dip to 3°C, with thermometers in some areas approaching zero. “Ground frosts are expected in numerous locations and could pose a threat to vegetables,” warned meteorologists.

The cold weather will persist into Monday, with daytime temperatures peaking between 11 and 15 degrees Celsius, though ground frosts will remain a concern overnight. The east and northeast of the country are particularly vulnerable to frost in the early hours of Tuesday.

Tuesday is expected to be slightly warmer, with daytime highs ranging from 13 to 17°C. However, by midweek, temperatures will stabilize between 10 and 16°C, with cloudy skies and scattered showers predicted for most of the country.
