Weather
Czech seasons are distinct. June through August, summer receives the highest temperatures and heaviest rainfall. The average summer temperature is about 20 °C (68 °F). Especially in the last decade, summer temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) are not unusual.
The cold, bitter winter months of December, January, and February often have temperatures reaching as low as -5°C (23°F) in the cities and -10°C (14°F) to -15°C (5°F) or even -30°C (-22°F) in the mountainous areas. They are tailor-made for skiing and other winter pursuits; the mountains receive about 130 days of snow a year, but other regions also get coverage.
Spring, late March to May, brings changeable, rainy weather and sometimes flooding.
Autumn is also variable, but temperatures can be as high as 20°C (68°F) in September.
At the highest peak (Sněžka, 1,602 m/5,260 ft), the average yearly temperature is only −0.4 °C (31 °F), whereas, in the lowlands of South Moravia, the annual average temperature is as high as 10 °C (50 °F). Due to urban factors, this also applies to the country’s capital, Prague.
