Heavy storms to hit most of Czechia on Saturday evening

Fierce storms are predicted to hit most of Czechia on Saturday evening and night, with strong winds, hail, and, in Moravia and Silesia, torrential rainfall. The only exception is the northwestern part of the country, which should escape the bad weather.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has issued a warning, to remain in force until 3 am on Sunday morning, that the storms may uproot trees and cause flooding, property damage, power outages and traffic jams. The institute recommends securing windows and doors and driving with caution.
