Despite the calendar indicating mid-February, the Czech Republic is experiencing an uncharacteristically warm winter, with temperatures surpassing 10 degrees Celsius in some regions. Meteorologist Dagmar Honsová attributes this phenomenon to the prevailing oceanic circulation over the country, resulting in abundant cloud cover and rain. As a consequence, the weather forecast for the second week of February resembles that of April rather than typical winter conditions.

However, Saint Valentine’s Day may offer a brief reprieve from the mild temperatures, with morning temperatures dipping below zero and the possibility of freezing fogs forming. Honsová notes that the reminder of winter may become evident on Wednesday morning, as temperatures are forecasted to plummet to -2 degrees Celsius in the early hours, accompanied by occasional freezing fogs.

The weather outlook for the week indicates overcast skies on Monday and Tuesday, with intermittent rain and snowfall expected in mountainous areas. Daily temperatures will range between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius, with South Moravia potentially experiencing highs of 12 degrees Celsius.

Wednesday morning is anticipated to bring partial sunshine along with occasional freezing fogs. Cloud cover will persist throughout the day, with sporadic showers, potentially transitioning to snowfall in elevated regions. Morning temperatures will range between 2 and -2 degrees Celsius, while daytime temperatures will hover between 5 and 9 degrees Celsius.

Thursday is forecasted to see a return to overcast conditions, accompanied by intermittent showers that may briefly turn into snowfall in mountainous areas. Morning temperatures will range from 6 to 2 degrees Celsius, while daytime temperatures are expected to climb to 8 and 12 degrees Celsius.

As the atypical weather pattern persists, residents are advised to remain vigilant and adapt accordingly, while meteorologists continue to monitor developments closely.
