Czechia braces for hottest week of the year

Czechia is set to experience its hottest week of the year, with daytime temperatures exceeding 30°C on most days and hitting 35°C in southern Moravia on Wednesday. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute predicts localized thunderstorms, which may bring heavy rainfall and hailstones in places. The heatwave will be particularly intense midweek, with high humidity making conditions especially uncomfortable. While a slight cooldown is expected over the weekend, significant and lasting relief from the heat is unlikely.
