Traditionally, November is synonymous with a noticeable drop in temperatures, and this year is proving to be no exception. The long-term forecast from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) indicates that nighttime temperatures will repeatedly approach the freezing point, signaling the onset of colder weather in the Czech Republic.

The initial days of November are expected to remain slightly warmer than the historical average, with occasional local maximum temperatures reaching around 15°C. However, as the month progresses, a gradual cooling trend will take hold, bringing nightly minimum temperatures to the freezing point, while daytime highs will hover around 6°C. This pattern is likely to persist until the end of the month.

In the following weeks, temperatures are anticipated to alternate between average and slightly above-average, with no substantial or prolonged cooling expected in the middle of November. However, as we approach the latter part of the month, some nights may experience temperatures briefly falling below 0°C, with daytime maximum temperatures predicted to range between 3 and 7°C.

Regarding precipitation, the forecast suggests increased rainfall as November transitions into December. Despite this, meteorologists anticipate a reduction in the number of showers compared to the preceding week.

It is essential to note that the monthly outlook provided by ČHMÚ represents the overall character of the weather and may not capture all potential fluctuations. The success rate of the forecast is approximately 75% for temperatures and around 65% for precipitation. Furthermore, the forecast for the third and fourth weeks typically aligns with long-term climatic values for the respective periods.

As the Czech Republic readies itself for the cooler temperatures and increased chances of precipitation in November, it is vital for residents to be prepared and take appropriate measures to stay warm and dry during the upcoming winter season.
