“Afternoon temperatures can rise to 13°C thanks to a warm south-westerly flow and overnight lows will not drop below freezing,” meteorologist Dagmar Honsová told Lightning. From Wednesday, the sky will clear and sunshine will be added to the warm air, in Prague and central Bohemia we measure even up to 16 °C in the afternoon!

No jump to summer

This year, compared to last year, we do not expect a big jump from winter to summer. “According to the outlook of the NCEP center, March and April will have a slight positive temperature deviation from the long-term normal. This is 3.2 °C in March and 8.5 °C in April,” said Hons. Frost may return in early March.

Nature is already blooming

The first messengers from the plant kingdom timidly announce the arrival of spring in gardens, parks and forests on the frozen, sometimes still snow-covered ground. In Pardubice, for example, the first snowdrops have appeared and here and there the yellow flowers of the snowdrops shine from the grass like little suns. The cycads and crocuses are also slowly coming to life.

The sleepers are back

Starlings have already returned from warm countries. The arrival of this chattering bird has been monitored by Rudolf Kovařík at his weather station in Šindelova in Sokolovsk since 1975. “They arrive between February 9th and March 10th. This year they arrived on February 14th,” described Kovařík.
