After the heat wave, the Czech Republic will be divided by a cold front: strong storms will hit the West

During Monday's severe thunderstorms in the Vysočina and Plzeň regions, exceptionally large hailstones up to 10 centimeters in diameter fell, particularly in the village of Ratiborova Lhota in the Šumava area. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) reported this event on social media, noting that while the hail caused damage to roofs, greenhouses, and cars, there were no serious injuries or major damages. Such large hailstones had previously been recorded in July 2022 in Rovensko pod Troskami in the Czech Paradise. According to ČHMÚ, the size of hail depends significantly on local conditions such as terrain and wind shear. Although strong thunderstorms formed over Šumava, the lack of significant wind shear typically prevents the formation of supercell storms capable of producing hail larger than five centimeters. However, local conditions on Šumava allowed for the occurrence of supercell storms, leading to the unusually large hail. Similar situations occurred during the destructive tornado in southern Moravia in 2021, where closely spaced intense thunderstorms merged to create conditions for supercells and large hail.

After breaking the absolute Czech temperature record of 41.9°C in Doksany over the weekend, the country is expected to experience a significant weather shift on Monday. Meteorologists predict that a cold front will move in from the west, dividing the nation into two distinct climate zones. While most of the country will see temperatures ranging between 31–36°C, extreme heat will persist in Moravia and Silesia, reaching up to 39°C. In contrast, western and northwestern Bohemia will experience much cooler conditions, with maximum temperatures around 28°C. The Plzeň Region will show notable local differences, with temperatures rising to 31°C on the east and dropping to 26°C on the west. The Šumava Mountains and northern mountainous areas will be even cooler, at 24°C and 20°C respectively. With the arrival of the cold front, cloud cover will increase, bringing rain and thunderstorms across the country. These storms could be severe, with heavy rainfall, strong winds, and large hailstones. Weather models remain uncertain about the exact intensity and location of these phenomena, but early signs indicate that intense thunderstorms have already begun forming along the borders of the South捷
