Bias read (Center): The article presents meteorological explanations for the hailstorm without overt political commentary or bias. It focuses on scientific factors and does not take a stance on policy or political responsibility.

Why these scores (Factual 75 · Objective 60): Factuality is moderate as the article reports snowfall measurements of up to 10 cm and attributes this to the Šumava region, aligning with cross-source consensus. Objectivity is lower due to the phrasing 'hájí meteorologové' which implies advocacy, suggesting a biased stance rather than neutral repo
