Cold weather is set to remain across the Czech Republic in the days ahead, with meteorologists warning that winter conditions will not ease anytime soon.

While temperatures may rise slightly toward the end of the week, cold weather is expected to stay, with more snow on the way — including up to 20 centimeters in some mountain areas.

According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, freezing temperatures will dominate the country through at least Thursday. Even though mornings have been slightly milder than earlier in the week, daytime temperatures are expected to stay below zero in most regions, keeping icy conditions firmly in place.

On Friday and Saturday, some areas may briefly see temperatures rise above freezing, but the cold will not let up for long.

This, however, will not bring real relief. Instead, it is likely to be accompanied by snowfall and, in some areas, mixed precipitation.

Meteorologists warn that rain combined with snow, or even freezing rain, could affect parts of southwestern Bohemia outside the mountain regions, increasing the risk of icy roads and sidewalks.

The most intense snowfall is expected in the Bohemian mountain ranges, where up to 20 centimeters of new snow could accumulate by the weekend. While lower-lying areas may receive less, the ongoing cold will allow snow to settle and persist, rather than melt away quickly.

Looking further ahead, forecasts suggest that winter will continue into the start of next week. Snow is likely to return, mainly in the northern and northeastern mountains.

Nighttime temperatures are expected to fall between minus one and minus six degrees Celsius, with clearer skies potentially pushing lows down to around minus eight in some places. During the day, temperatures should hover between minus two and three degrees.

For residents and travelers, the message from meteorologists is clear: winter conditions are far from over. Drivers are advised to stay alert, especially in regions where freezing rain or heavy snow could create hazardous conditions.
