Thursday morning brought unusually chilly conditions across the region. While most areas experienced temperatures between 5°C and 10°C, mountain locations saw the mercury drop below freezing.
According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, Prague city center and Ústí nad Labem recorded the warmest morning temperatures at 12°C. Meanwhile, mountain frost hollows faced significantly colder conditions, with nine weather stations reporting sub-zero temperatures.
The coldest reading came from Kvilda-Perla station, which registered a frigid -4.1°C. Outside mountain regions, Šindelová, Obora station recorded the lowest temperature at 3.2°C. Temperature records fell at eight stations (5%) that have been monitoring conditions for at least 30 years, though most long-term stations still maintain records for this date from 1987.
