Storm warnings issued for all regions of Czechia

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has issued warnings for all regions in Czechia of exceptionally heavy thunderstorms expected on Saturday.

The first storm could appear on Saturday morning in the west and northwest of Bohemia, with heavy thunderstorms expected throughout the afternoon and evening accompanied by torrential rain, hail, and wind of around 70 kilometres per hour.

However, despite the storms, the heatwave which the country has been experiencing this week still won’t subside and the meteorological institute’s forest fire warning still remains in force.
