Spring warmth brings two March 1 records in Czechia

Unseasonably warm weather brought two temperature records in Czechia on Saturday, with the highest reading of 15.4 degrees Celsius recorded in Vsetín. According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, only two long-term stations broke records for March 1, far fewer than in previous days when dozens were surpassed. New records were also set in Štítná nad Vláří and Dukovany. Forecasters expect stable, sunny and above-average temperatures to continue next week, although mornings will remain chilly and foggy in places. Afternoon highs should hover around 13 degrees Celsius, with cooler conditions where fog persists.
