Now let's move on to the story about the weather in Prague. Most of my friends and relatives ask me before a trip to Prague: “What is the weather like in Prague now and what clothes are best to take with you?” I always have to answer most often the same thing, so I decided to write a post about the weather in Prague.
First, let me tell you about Czech climate.
The climate of the Czech Republic moderate, with warm summer and cool, cloudy and wet winters.
Czech Republic lies in temperate zone . The climate is determined by a mixture of maritime and continental influences. The weather in the Czech Republic in summer is quite stable and pleasant, as the mountains surrounding the Czech Republic along the entire perimeter do not allow the penetration of winds.
According to statistics, the average annual air temperature in Prague is 8.4 °C.
Most warm months Czech Republic - July and August with an air temperature of 17-18 ° C in Prague. Most cold month- January with a temperature of -1 ... -3 ° C in Prague.
The average annual rainfall in Prague is 527 mm.
Relative humidity in Prague - 77%.
General cloudiness in Prague is 6.4 points, while the lower one is 3.9 points.
The average wind speed in Prague is 14 km/h.
Now I will tell you about my observations about the seasons and give advice on what clothes to take with you to Prague and the Czech Republic.
Weather in Prague in spring (March-mid-May)
At this time, the weather is very unstable. A sharp gusty wind periodically blows, the air temperature ranges from -5 to +20. Those. during the day you can walk in a T-shirt, and in the evening you need a windproof warm jacket. It rains often. Therefore, at this time it is better to wear waterproof, not too warm shoes and windproof jackets or vests for walking around Prague. But sometimes in the spring in Prague there is abnormal heat, as, for example, in 2012 in mid-April it was +34 degrees during the day, and 7 degrees at night.
Weather in Prague in summer (mid-May-August)
There is an opinion that the summer in Prague is cold, and there are constant rains. During my three summers in Prague, it was frankly hot here. The temperature often rose above 30 degrees, sometimes there were heavy rains. Therefore, on a trip at this time, you can take shorts, summer skirts, sandals, T-shirts, and be sure to wear hats. For those who want to visit Czech lakes or water parks, don't forget your bathing suits. Due to the continental climate, it can get quite chilly in the evenings in summer, so bring sweatshirts or windbreakers with you.
Weather in Prague in autumn (September-October)
Autumn in Prague and the Czech Republic is very beautiful, the weather is quite warm during the day, there are few tourists, and it is very pleasant to walk. The air temperature is about the same as in spring from +5 to +20, only there are less winds. If your vacation falls at this time, then take with you windbreakers, vests, umbrellas, light gloves, waterproof comfortable shoes, jeans or comfortable pants and be sure to have a scarf.
Weather in Prague in winter (November-mid-March)
Winter in Prague is different, the average temperature ranges from +5 to -5. But there are colds down to -20. Don't think that -5 will be easily tolerated, like in Siberia, because of the humid air -5 feels like all -15. Periodically there is a gusty wind, sometimes a lot of snow falls. Therefore, at this time you will need warm pants, waterproof warm shoes, gloves, a jacket, preferably with a hood and a scarf.
When is the best time to go to Prague?
What is the best time of the year to visit Prague? Winter, spring, summer or autumn? Surely this question is asked by every tourist who wants to visit the beautiful city of Prague. We will try to answer this question, as well as help you pack your suitcase correctly, focusing on the weather by months.
Prague is an amazing city. Here it would not occur to you to go on a diet or save money on all sorts of knick-knacks - on the contrary: your suitcase will be full of unplanned purchases, and various delicacies that you simply cannot refuse will surely add a couple of kilograms to you. Long walks through the hilly terrain in the Old Town will be reminiscent of heaviness in the legs and fatigue. However, you don’t even think about such life trifles, because behind every turn you can see something interesting: an architectural revelation, a pretty face of Praguers or a view that you can’t take your eyes off; or you can just enjoy the sun, wind and the unique atmosphere of old Prague.
To deal with the question "When is it better to go to Prague", let's get acquainted with the climate in Prague, namely by season and month.
Climate in Prague
The climate of Prague can be described as mild temperate continental. Winters are not severe, there is little snow, and in summer there is a lot of rain and a comfortable positive temperature is maintained. Spring comes here in March, and autumn ends in December.
The Prague winter is mild and quite warm (average temperature is -5 °C). Frosts begin when the thermometer drops to -15, but this happens extremely rarely (once every few years). Snow does not fall much. Sometimes flowers continue to live in cities until the New Year.
How to dress in winter?
Before you go to Prague in winter, carefully study the parameters that affect weather. First of all, you need to understand that Prague is located on a hill, which means that at times strong gusts of cold wind can overtake you. The temperature fluctuates greatly from -5 to 0, and in the sun it can reach a plus mark, but due to the cold wind, as mentioned earlier, the temperature will seem lower than it actually is. Do not forget also that the Vltava River flows through the whole of Prague, and this is penetrating humidity. Therefore, in winter you need to wear warm windproof clothing (down jackets, parka) and trekking boots that will keep your feet warm and dry. Wear thermal underwear underneath.
With the arrival of the first winter month nature still lives by the laws late autumn: the temperature is kept in the range of 0-10 ° C, in some places it remains green grass and flowering plants. True, daylight hours become much shorter, it starts to get dark around 16 hours. Precipitation falls, but most often it is not snow, but rain. By the end of the month - in the pre-New Year period - the weather may change somewhat and become a little more "winter", with fluffy snow and drifts, but still quite warm. Of course, at this time, New Year trees are set up on the streets and squares of the city, decorations are hung, Christmas markets open, everything begins to shine and shimmer with lights. Holidays are coming - Christmas and New Year in Prague!
In January
January is considered the coldest month in Prague. average temperature rarely drops below -3 °C. During the day it is very sunny, which, apparently, causes the famous a natural phenomenon in Prague (and throughout the Czech Republic), which attracts many tourists here, is the flowering of fragrant viburnum. A very beautiful sight!
In February
An uncomfortable and gloomy February in Prague manifests itself as a temperature of -1°C at night and +10°C during the day, the absence of sun and any significant precipitation in the form of rain and snow. The weather is not conducive to walks, so it's time to visit cultural events, exhibitions, visit museums and visit the theater. You can also engage in treatment and healing of the body in one of the year-round sanatoriums or clinics.
