Icy conditions persist in Czechia, affecting flights and rail travel

Icy conditions have disrupted traffic around Czechia in the past 24 hours. Freezing rain stopped traffic at Prague's Václav Havel Airport for about four hours on Sunday evening. Several flights were cancelled and some delayed due to the adverse weather conditions.

Meteorologists warned that ice remains a threat on Monday, especially in the Highlands (Vysočina), Moravia, and parts of Bohemia, where temperatures are still near or below freezing, as reported by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ).

Czech Railways reported around ten sections affected by weather conditions after 6:00 a.m., disrupting operations. In addition to ice on the traction lines, fallen trees are also causing issues. Trains between Prague Main Station and Nymburk are being diverted via Poříčany due to malfunctioning switches at Mstětice station.
