Weather Forecast: Czechia Faces Heatwave, Up to 37°C Expected
Prague Morning

The Czech Republic is heading into one of the hottest weeks of the year, with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) issuing a heat warning that could remain in effect for several days.
A large high-pressure system moving eastward from Central Europe is driving the extreme temperatures. While the current heat alert was initially issued through Monday, meteorologists expect it will likely be extended into the middle and possibly the end of the week.
According to ČHMÚ, Monday and Tuesday will bring daytime highs between 27°C and 32°C, with slightly cooler conditions in the northeast, where temperatures will range between 24°C and 27°C.
The situation is expected to worsen from Wednesday, with temperatures climbing to 35°C, followed by Thursday, when parts of the country could experience up to 37°C. Skies will remain clear and sunny throughout the day, further increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
In response to the soaring temperatures, ČHMÚ has issued clear advice for the public.
“It’s important to follow a proper drinking regimen, preferably by increasing the intake of unsweetened soft drinks and mineral water,” the institute said. “People should also limit physical activities, especially during the afternoon hours, when the heat peaks.”
By Friday, a slight drop in temperatures is forecasted. The country can expect cloudy to overcast skies, with showers and thunderstorms likely in some areas. Daytime temperatures should fall back to a range of 24°C to 29°C, bringing some much-needed relief after the intense heat.
While Czechia will feel the heat, the Iberian Peninsula is forecasted to experience even more extreme conditions, with temperatures soaring to 45°C in parts of Spain and Portugal.
