After the Storm: Czech Republic Braces for Tropical Heat Wave

As the Czech Republic bids farewell to a brief Monday cool-down, residents are gearing up for a return to sweltering summer temperatures. Meteorologist Dagmar Honsová reassures the public that the true summer weather is far from over, with tropical conditions set to dominate the rest of the week.

Monday marks the week’s coolest day, with afternoon temperatures ranging from 20 to 24°C. However, the mercury is set to rise rapidly. By Tuesday, temperatures will climb to 23-28°C, potentially reaching 30°C in South Moravia.

Midweek brings no respite from the heat. Wednesday’s forecast predicts temperatures between 26 and 30°C, with slightly cooler conditions in the west. As the week progresses, the heat intensifies. By Saturday, the nation will be in the grip of tropical temperatures, with thermometers expected to hit between 29 and 33°C.

While the rising temperatures might be welcome news for sun-seekers, they come with a caveat. The week will be punctuated by occasional showers and thunderstorms, adding a touch of unpredictability to the weather.

As the Czech Republic prepares for this heat wave, residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek shade during peak hours, and be prepared for sudden weather changes. With temperatures set to remain high even into Sunday, it’s clear that summer is holding on tight in the heart of Europe.
