Highest January temperature on record in Czechia

The record for the highest-ever January temperature in Czechia was broken on New Year's Day. A balmy 19.6 degrees Celsius was recorded in Javorník in the Olomouc region in the morning, breaking the previous record of 18.8 degrees, recorded in Vaňov in the Ústí nad Labem region on January 29, 2002.

Record New Year's Day temperatures were recorded at around 80 percent of Czechia's 162 measuring stations with at least a thirty-year archive of measurements.
