The Czech Republic is set to experience its hottest week of the year, with local thunderstorms and the risk of intense downpours, according to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ).
Meteorologists warn that the latter part of the week will be particularly uncomfortable due to increased humidity.
On Monday and Tuesday, temperatures in the lowlands will exceed 30°C, with southern Moravia experiencing the highest temperatures of up to 35°C. The first thunderstorms, potentially bringing heavy rain and minor hail, may occur in southwest and western Bohemia.
By Wednesday, the western regions of Bohemia could begin to feel the effects of a temperature shift.
“Thunderstorms will be widespread in Bohemia, and could bring localized heavy rainfall and possibly small hail. However, some areas, especially in Moravia and Silesia, might not see any rain at all,” meteorologists stated.
Wednesday is likely to be the warmest day of the week, with high humidity making the afternoon particularly muggy in Bohemia.
On Thursday, temperatures are expected to drop below 30°C in most regions, except for Moravia and Silesia. Friday’s forecast remains uncertain, but a significant cooldown is anticipated over the weekend.
