After the heat wave, the Czech Republic will be divided by a cold front: strong storms will hit the West
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
On Monday, heavy storms caused significant disruptions across several regions in the Czech Republic, particularly on Vysočina. Firefighters responded to a total of 182 incidents, according to reports. The most intense activity occurred between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., with the highest number of interventions recorded in the Pelhřimov and Ji.hlava districts. In Pelhřimov, firefighters dealt with 67 incidents, while in Ji.hlava, they handled 60. These numbers reflect the severity of the weather conditions, which included torrential rains and flooding.
The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute noted that the heaviest rainfall fell on the Pelhřimov and Ji.hlava areas over the past 24 hours. Stations in Štoky, near Ji.hlava, recorded nearly 85 liters per square meter of rain. Additional heavy downpours were also recorded in Ji.hlava and Černovice on Pelhřimov, leading to water being pumped out from flooded buildings in multiple streets. Similar situations arose in Žirovnice, Kamenice nad Lipou, and Horní Cerekvice. In Polné, firefighters worked to secure a fallen power pole.
Looking ahead, Tuesday's forecast indicates mostly sunny weather on Vysočina with temperatures ranging between 29 and 32 degrees Celsius. However, later in the afternoon and especially during the evening, thunderstorms accompanied by sudden showers, hail, and wind gusts reaching approximately 70 kilometers per hour could return. This potential for renewed severe weather highlights the ongoing risk posed by the recent storm system.
In the Pardubice region, firefighters also faced challenges due to the storms, responding to 60 incidents on Monday night and early Tuesday. Most of these involved clearing fallen trees and branches from roads and pumping water from flooded basements and homes. According to Lucie Pipiš, spokesperson for the regional fire department, the busiest period was between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., with the hardest-hit area being Chrudimsko. Trees were removed in locations such as Horní Bradlice, parts of Chrudim, Libanice, and Chrásti. In Zaječice within Chrudimsko, water had to be pumped out after heavy rain, similar actions were taken in the Vlčnov district and other parts of the city.
Meanwhile, in the Tišnov region, firefighters encountered both fires and flooding. On Monday afternoon, temperatures exceeded 35 degrees Celsius, prompting firefighters to respond to several forest and field fires. A major concern was a forest fire near Předklášťerí, close to Tišnov, where a helicopter equipped with a fire extinguishing tank was deployed. Firefighters declared a second-level alert due to challenging terrain and high temperatures, necessitating frequent rotations among personnel. After several hours, the flames were brought under control. The likely cause of this fire was negligence. Another second-level alert was issued for a field fire near Vřesovice, where growing grain was burning. However, the fire was quickly contained.
In another part of the country, near Vimperk and Čkyně, heavy rains led to track flooding, forcing the closure of the railway line before 3 p.m. Strong rainfall and saturated tracks contributed to this situation, along with several fallen trees. Martin Kavka, spokesperson for the Railway Administration, confirmed this to Novinky.cz. GW Train Regio confirmed that substitute bus services were operating in the affected section.
Bouquets swept through areas including Prachaticko and parts of Strakonice, with firefighters reporting around 40 emergency responses in less than two hours, primarily related to fallen trees and water extraction. Eva Houbová from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute informed ČTK that some areas on Prachaticko received up to 60 millimeters of rain in a short time frame. An amateur station in Bohumilice on Prachaticko recorded 100 millimeters of rain in one hour. The first storms hit Prachaticko around noon on Monday, with heavy rain appearing in České Budějovice and surrounding areas in the afternoon, where large hailstones were also observed. Houbová warned that the risk of thunderstorms might persist until 8 p.m. today.

The article discusses recent thunderstorms in the Czech Republic, particularly focusing on their avoidance of Prague. Thunderstorms initially appeared in southern Bohemia, bringing heavy hail up to ten centimeters in size. They moved northward across the Czech-Moravian Highlands but bypassed the capital city. Meteorologist Martin Adamovský explains that this was due to less available energy for storm formation in northern areas. Another meteorologist, Dagmar Honsová, notes that predictive models sometimes fail to accurately forecast storm locations, as the moving cold front made predictions challenging. The article also mentions that while large cities like Prague might influence storms, there is no conclusive evidence that they consistently prevent them. It further highlights that radar images showed precipitation over Prague, but in reality, little rain reached the ground due to dry air near the surface.

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.

The Czech Supreme Audit Office (NKÚ) has revealed that the Ministry of Interior has not fulfilled its stated goals regarding the development of the police aviation service, despite claiming it as a priority. The audit found that while the ministry spent 1.3 billion crowns on the aviation service between 2021 and 2025, 97% of this was allocated to operational costs rather than investments. Only 44 million crowns were used for investments, such as purchasing drones and training simulators. Additionally, the main hangar at the Prague airport has been in a hazardous condition for over 20 years, despite being flagged by the audit as early as 2006. The ministry claims it is preparing for the reconstruction of the hangar starting in 2021 but has only made temporary repairs so far. The police aviation service currently has 15 helicopters, some of which are more than 32 years old, and only one is capable of night flights, limiting its operational capacity.

A severe storm known as a 'supercell' formed west of Hranice in the Přerov area on Wednesday evening, bringing heavy rainfall and locally up to three centimeters of hail. The event was captured in a time-lapse video shared with the Novinky.cz editorial team by photographer and storm chaser Dominik Erban. A supercell is a special type of thunderstorm characterized by a single strong updraft and rotating air currents, often featuring mesocyclones—areas of rotating air around a vertical axis. These storms can sometimes spawn tornadoes through a feature called a wall cloud. The conditions in the Moravian region on Wednesday were ideal for the formation of a supercell, with significant atmospheric energy and wind shear, which refers to differences in wind direction and speed at various altitudes.
