Czech Republic Weather
Dusk around 6:15 p.m.
Spring usually begins in the second
half of March when temperatures
no longer tend to drop below freezing, the snow starts
to melt in most areas, and the first flowers appear. It
can still be quite chilly and the lows often hover around
0°C/32°F or can still drop below
freezing.
The highs can climb to 8-14°C/46-57°F.
Dusk around 8 p.m.
April
weather in the Czech Republic is unpredictable and can
change from sunny to snowy in a matter of minutes. It can
also get windy and temperatures can vary quite a bit. Here
is what the old Czech weather lore says about the month
of April:
"April
is half March and half May."
"In April, up to nine kinds
of weather can meet in a day."
"April weather is more capricious
than a woman".
Dusk around 9 p.m.
May can be a beautiful, warm
month, with temperatures at 15-25°C/60-77°F during
the day. Flowers and trees are in bloom. There are three
days in the middle of May (May 12 - 14) referred to as
the days of the "frozen Saints" or "frozen
brothers" of
Pankrác, Servác and Bonifác (in Czech zmrzlíci, zmrzlí
svatí or zmrzlí bratři) when it can get close
to freezing in the morning. It is the last reminder of
the winter past.
