Czechia records hottest night of current heatwave

Sunday night was probably the hottest of the current heatwave in Czechia, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute said on Monday.

Temperatures remained above 25 degrees Celsius at 12 weather stations, while nearly half of all stations recorded a tropical night, with temperatures staying above 20 degrees. The institute said the number of tropical nights has increased steadily over the past three days.

Monday is expected to bring another hot day, with highs of up to 39 degrees Celsius in Moravia and Silesia. Cooler weather is forecast later this week, with daytime temperatures dropping to around 25 degrees.
