Harmful freezing temperatures expected in coming nights

Frosts, which can damage ripening vegetables and flowering fruit trees, are set to appear in Czechia in the coming nights. The Czech Hydro-Meteorological Institute said on Thursday that freezing temperatures are likely to be recorded in the country overnight on Friday as well as on Sunday and Monday.

Up to 40 centimetres of snow is expected to fall in the mountains, the forecasters said.

Temperatures dropped below zero in some areas on Wednesday night, while snowfall in the upland Šumava complicated traffic.
