Czechia records first tropical day of the year

Czechia has recorded its first tropical day of 2026, with temperatures reaching 30.1 degrees Celsius at the weather station in Doksany, north of Prague. Meteorologists said temperatures could still rise slightly further before the day ends. Last year’s first tropical day came earlier, in early May, while in 2024 it arrived as early as 7 April. Forecasters noted that Doksany is a somewhat unusual measurement site, known for temperature fluctuations linked to local conditions, but other parts of the country, including the Plzeň region, also saw temperatures approaching 30 degrees.
