Scorching Heat All Week, Thunderstorms to Follow

The transition from July to August will bring above-average temperatures, peaking around 35°C. In the latter half of the upcoming week, frequent thunderstorms are expected, according to meteorologist Dagmar Honsová.

In the first half of the new workweek, the weather in Central Europe will be influenced by a high-pressure system named Halil by the Germans, which will strengthen warm southwesterly winds, Honsová noted. Monday will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from 23 to 27°C, the coldest day of the week.

Starting Tuesday, temperatures will rise. Morning lows will drop to 13 to 18°C, and during the day, clear to partly cloudy skies will prevail, with maximum daily temperatures reaching 26 to 30°C. Clear to partly cloudy skies should persist into Wednesday. Morning lows will drop to 15 to 11°C, and daytime temperatures will reach between 29 and 34°C.

On Thursday, a low-pressure trough will begin to influence the weather. The day will start mostly clear to partly cloudy but will become overcast with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Morning lows will drop to 18 to 14°C, and daytime temperatures will range from 28 to 33°C, with temperatures in the east rising to 35°C.

Friday will be partly cloudy to cloudy with occasional showers and thunderstorms. Morning temperatures will range from 18 to 14°C, and daytime temperatures will be between 24 and 28°C. Saturday will offer partly cloudy skies, becoming cloudy during the day with isolated showers or thunderstorms. Morning temperatures will remain between 18 and 14°C, with daytime highs most often between 26 and 30°C.

Partly cloudy skies are expected to continue into Sunday. Temperatures will remain unchanged, with morning lows between 18 and 14°C and daytime highs between 26 and 30°C.
