Czech water rescuers have responded to more than 420 incidents so far this summer, nearly half the total recorded during last year's entire season. According to the Water Rescue Service of the Czech Red Cross, the sharp increase is due to the hot weather in recent weeks.
A total of 165 people drowned in Czechia last year. Although prevention campaigns have helped reduce the annual death toll in recent years, it remains high compared with many Western European countries.
The rescue service also uses an underwater drone that can dive to depths of up to 100 metres. It helps inspect waterways, document boating accidents and assist police in searching for drowning victims.

Electricity consumption in Czechia continued to grow in the second quarter of this year despite rising prices, according to an analysis by energy company Amper Meteo. Weather-adjusted electricity use was up 2.3 percent year on year, while electricity prices increased by 26 percent.
Despite the recent growth, electricity consumption remains 5.5 percent below the average recorded before the energy crisis. Gas consumption also remains lower than pre-crisis levels, although it rose slightly compared with the same period last year.
Solar power remained Czechia's largest renewable electricity source, accounting for more than three-quarters of renewable generation so far this year. Together with hydro and wind power, renewables covered just over 10 percent of the country's electricity consumption.

According to Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, Czechia will not meet its commitment to spend two percent of GDP on defence this year. Speaking ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, Babiš said the main reason was that his government had inherited a budget with a 90-billion-crown deficit from the previous administration. Czechia is one of the three lowest-spending NATO members on defence, alongside Albania and Slovenia.
