When to go to Czech Republic ?
The Czech Republic has a continental climate with moderately warm summers with maximum temperatures at around 24°C, and rather cold winters with temperatures often turning negative. Rainfall occurs all throughout the year but particularly between May and September.
The seasons are quite distinct in the Czech Republic :
In winter, temperatures are quite cold and the sky is often grey. Minimum temperatures are negative during the months from December to February and day temperatures never exceed the 4°C mark. Rain occurs less frequently than during the other months of the year. Snow can appear in the lowlands. In the mountains, you can go alpine skiing in the most popular resorts which can be found in the Krkonoše ‘Giant Mountains’. The largest skiing area in the Czech Republic, located in the Jizerské hory mountains, combines several resorts together, including Harrachov, and has more than 40km of downhill ski pistes and 200km of cross-country ski pistes. A real treat for ski lovers!
In spring, temperatures warm up and the days get longer. Minimum temperatures are still cold at 3°C in April and you’ll have to wait until mid-May to start to have spring-like temperatures. During the day, the thermometer can reach up to 19°C – a pleasant temperature for visiting the country and its capital Prague. The sunshine increases its presence and there is a lot more rain. If you explore the Czech Republic in this season, don’t forget to take clothing to protect yourself against the rain.
In summer, the days are quite sunny, with temperatures reaching 24°C in July and August. Rain can also be seen, but the majority of the time this comes by way of heavy, sporadic downpours. Remember to take jumpers if you are considering a stay at this time of year as temperatures can quickly cool down when night falls.
In autumn, the sky again becomes grey and the cold makes its appearance felt once more. In October, minimum temperatures don’t exceed 13°C and at night, the temperature is close to 0°C.
It’s between the months of May and September that you will get the best weather conditions for visiting the Czech Republic and especially Prague – its capital – with its incredible architecture which make it one of the most beautiful European capitals. Do still remember to take an umbrella, as even if these months are the most appropriate to visit, they are also the rainiest months of the year.
