It hasn't rained in almost a week, the drought is developing again.

The article reports on the ongoing drought conditions in the Czech Republic, noting that nearly a week has passed without significant rainfall due to a high-pressure air mass over central Europe. Weather models suggest minimal precipitation for the next week, leading to the potential for extreme drought across most of the country. The situation is particularly severe in Moravia, where less rain has fallen compared to other regions like Bohemia and Silesia. Rising temperatures, approaching tropical levels of 30°C, are exacerbating the issue by accelerating soil moisture loss. According to Intersucho, reduced soil moisture will persist through mid-month, with the worst drought conditions affecting more than half of the country. The Jihomoravský and Olomoucký regions, along with several areas in Bohemia, are expected to experience soil saturation below 10%, close to the point of damage. Water levels in rivers are low, making them unsuitable for boating, and both shallow and deep wells show abnormally low water levels.

Do konce týdne předpověď slibuje klidnější počasí

The article reports on upcoming weather conditions in the Czech Republic, predicting calmer weather after a series of extreme temperatures and strong thunderstorms. From Thursday to Sunday, temperatures are expected to gradually decrease, with daytime highs ranging between 17°C and 29°C, depending on the region. The weather forecast comes from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), which notes that tropical-like conditions will subside, with cooler temperatures returning. The article mentions specific regional variations, such as higher temperatures in southern Moravia and lower temperatures in mountainous areas. It also highlights the movement of a cold front over the country overnight on Friday.

Bias read (Center): The article presents an objective report on weather forecasts without any political framing, emphasis on ideological positions, or biased language. It focuses solely on meteorological data and does not engage with politically charged topics.

Why these scores (Factual 90 · Objective 85): Factuality is strong with direct quotes and alignment with the primary source. Objectivity is good but mentions 'extrémními teplotami' which could be seen as emotionally charged.

Fishermen aerate their tanks and wait for the rain

In the Czech Republic, fishermen are taking urgent measures to prevent fish deaths caused by low oxygen levels in water due to extreme heat and prolonged drought. Fishermen are installing aerators and adjusting water release methods to increase oxygenation in reservoirs and rivers. The situation has become critical in some areas, where water levels have dropped significantly, leading to the death of certain fish species. In places like Sušice and Vojkovic, efforts are being made to maintain adequate oxygen levels through artificial means, including aerators and natural processes like water flow over dams. Fishermen are closely monitoring conditions and hope for rain to alleviate the crisis.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on environmental challenges faced by fisheries due to climate-related factors (heat and drought), focusing on technical responses (aerators, water management). It presents quotes from various stakeholders (fishermen, local officials) without overtly favoring any political stance.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 75): The article accurately reports on the impact of drought on fish and crayfish, citing specific actions taken by fishermen like installing aerators and changing water release methods.

Monday was the warmest day on record in Moravia

On Monday, June 29, several locations in Moravia experienced record-high temperatures. The hottest stations were Strážnice and Třebíč, both recording 39.1 °C. Other notable locations included Šternberk at 39 °C, Lednica, Brno, and Žabovřesky, which were slightly cooler. In Přerov, the temperature reached 38 °C, matching the previous record set in 1921. All measurement stations in the Olomouc and Moravian-Silesian regions that have been operating for over 30 years recorded new records for this date. Even mountainous areas like Lysá hora saw unusually high temperatures, reaching 29.4 °C, a new June record for that station. Meanwhile, temperatures in Bohemia remained lower due to a cold front arriving from the west, bringing heavy rain to some areas. Over the coming week, temperatures across the Czech Republic are expected to drop to around 25 °C during the day and approximately 14 °C at night.

Nedostatek vody v půdě na jižní Moravě a v části Olomouckého je kritický

The article reports on severe soil drought conditions in southern Moravia and parts of the Olomoucký region, noting that soil moisture levels are critically low. Heavy rains from Monday to Wednesday did little to alleviate the situation, as rainfall was weaker in these areas compared to the rest of the country. Scientists from the Institute of Global Change Research at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (CzechGlobe) have mapped the current state of soil moisture, showing that some regions, particularly in southern Moravia like Znojemsko, Břeclavsko, and Brněnsko, have less than 10% soil saturation. The eastern part of the area near the Slovak border has slightly better conditions, but still remains below 40% saturation. The drought has been intense since early spring due to insufficient winter, spring, and summer rainfall, exacerbated by an extreme heatwave in late June, which set several temperature records, including the highest ever recorded in the Czech Republic.

Europe faces another heat wave after a brief cooling off

The article discusses an upcoming potential heatwave in Western Europe following a recent cooling period. It explains that while current conditions offer some relief after extreme temperatures, meteorological models suggest a return to hot weather. The formation of a strong high-pressure system over the Atlantic is expected to contribute to this heatwave, potentially leading to temperatures exceeding 35°C. The article outlines different scenarios predicted by models, including the possibility of another intense heatwave similar to the previous one, though less severe scenarios are considered more likely. The situation remains uncertain, particularly for regions like the Czech Republic, where temperatures might remain above average but the extent of the heatwave is yet to be determined.

June in the Czech Republic was the third warmest in the history of measurements

The month of June 2026 in the Czech Republic was recorded as the third warmest on record, according to data from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI). The average temperature for the month was 19.1°C, just behind the records set in 2019 (20.7°C) and 2003 (19.4°C). However, June 1985 remains the coldest on record at 13.0°C. Extreme heat waves occurred towards the end of the month, with temperatures reaching up to 41.9°C in Doksany, breaking historical records. The average temperature during this period exceeded the long-term normal by over 10°C. While the overall month was warm, cooler conditions between June 10th and 15th brought temperatures 5°C below average. In Prague’s Klementinum, June 2026 was the second warmest on record with an average of 22.9°C, slightly behind the record-breaking 24.5°C in 2019. The month saw 12 tropical nights, where temperatures did not drop below 20°C, and several daily high temperatures surpassed previous records.
