“Monday September 2, 2024 will go down as a very warm day. Temperatures rose to 27 to 31 degrees Celsius at 5:00 p.m., up to 34 degrees in southern Moravia, only in the west of Bohemia was the maximum lower, 24 to 27 degrees Celsius,” meteorologists said

For example, it has a new September maximum Brod nad Dyjí in the Břeclav region, where it was 34.4 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. In Strážnice in Hodonínsk, the new record is only a tenth of a degree lower. Pohořelice in Brno measured 33.2 degrees, as did the Brno-Tuřany station. It was 33.1 degrees Celsius in Troubsk in Brno.

In the Old Town of Uherskohradiště region, the temperature reached 32.9 degrees, It was 32.6 degrees in Holešov in the Kroměříž region, 32.3 degrees in Zlín, 31.9 degrees in Dukovany in the Třebíč region, and 31.4 degrees Celsius in Sedlec in the Třebíč region and Strání in the Uherskohradišť region. “The original September absolute record was most often from September 1, 2015,” noted the meteorologists.

Records may fall in the following days as well. The weather will be even more tropical on Tuesday, it will be clear to partly cloudy, occasional showers and thunderstorms in the mountains. Lowest night temperatures 19 to 15 °C. Highest daily temperatures 28 to 32 °C, in southern Moravia up to 34 °C.

And the tropes will continue. The same situation will also occur on Wednesday, when it will be clear to partly cloudy and occasional showers and thunderstorms in the mountains. Lowest night temperatures 20 to 16 °C. Highest daily temperatures 30 to 34 °C.

It could get slightly cooler on Thursday, but this scenario is not yet certain, according to meteorologists. “If the cooling did come, it would probably be accompanied by more widespread thunderstorms,” states the Czech Republic.

Due to the high temperatures and lack of precipitation, a warning about the risk of fires starting and spreading applies throughout the Czech Republic. Therefore, people should not light fires in nature and especially in forests. It can be very dangerous in the current drought to burn grass or throw cigarette butts on the ground. The fire warning is in effect until further notice.
