Winter is making its presence felt this weekend, with snowfall and icy conditions forecast across much of the Czech Republic.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute predicts heavy snow in mountainous areas and chilly temperatures nationwide, signaling the start of the cold season.

Friday: Snowfall in Higher Altitudes

Friday, November 29, will be dominated by cloudy and overcast skies. Rain is expected in lower regions, while areas above 500 meters above sea level will see steady snowfall. The mountains will bear the brunt, with forecasts suggesting 15-25 cm of fresh snow could accumulate by the end of the day. Daytime temperatures will range from 2°C to 6°C, so dress warmly if heading outdoors.

Saturday: Clearing Skies, Less Precipitation

Saturday brings a slight respite, though the day will still begin cloudy and overcast. Occasional rain showers are possible in the southeast, and higher elevations may still see snowfall. By evening, precipitation is expected to taper off, and clear skies could emerge in some areas. Daytime temperatures will remain similar, hovering between 2°C and 6°C.

Sunday: Frosty Start, Clear Day

Sunday promises clear or partly cloudy skies, with no precipitation forecast. However, be cautious during the early morning hours, as frost and ice are likely to form on roads, vehicles, and rooftops. Daytime temperatures will rise slightly, reaching 4°C to 8°C, offering a crisp but pleasant end to the weekend.
