Czechia Braces for Another Sharp Drop in Temperatures

The Czech Republic is set for another sharp temperature drop this week, according to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ).

The beginning of the week will bring cold and humid air from northwestern Europe, followed by a brief warming period. However, by Friday, a cold front will sweep through, bringing another round of chilly weather.

Throughout the week, the weather will be cloudy and rainy, with snowfall in higher elevations. While the weekend will start with relatively mild temperatures, a significant cooling trend will follow. Here’s what meteorologists predict for the upcoming days.

Monday and Tuesday: Rain, Snow, and Low Temperatures

If you have outdoor plans on Monday, prepare for rain and snow in the mountains. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, with showers and mixed precipitation above 700 meters. Evening rainfall may subside. Nighttime temperatures will range from 6 to 2°C, while daytime highs will only reach 5 to 9°C, with some areas in Moravia hitting 12°C. A northwest to north wind will continue throughout the day.

On Tuesday, the pattern remains unchanged. Expect cloudy skies with occasional showers, with snow above 900 meters. Precipitation should taper off in the evening, allowing for decreasing cloud cover. Night temperatures will drop to 5 to 1°C, potentially -1°C in western Bohemia. Daytime temperatures will range from 9 to 13°C, with South Moravia reaching 15°C. A light north to northeast wind will persist.

Midweek Brings a Brief Weather Improvement

By Wednesday, meteorologists forecast clear to partly cloudy skies, though morning fog or low cloud cover may appear. Nighttime temperatures will remain between 5 and 1°C, with possible dips to -1°C in wind-sheltered areas. The day will feel warmer, with temperatures rising to 17°C in some regions. The northeast to east wind will weaken by the evening.

Thursday will see similar conditions, with clear skies and mild spring temperatures ranging from 14 to 18°C. A light variable wind will blow at speeds of up to 4 m/s.

Sharp Cooling Over the Weekend

The warm spell will be short-lived, as Friday brings increasing cloud cover from the northwest, with rain, showers, and snow in higher altitudes. The weekend will remain mostly cloudy, with nighttime temperatures dropping from 6 to 1°C and eventually reaching -3°C.

Daytime highs will plummet, starting at 14 to 19°C on Saturday but dropping to just 3 to 8°C by Sunday. So, despite the brief spring-like warmth, don’t put away your winter coat just yet—you’ll still need it.
