According to meteorologist Dagmar Honsová, this year’s Easter holiday in some parts of the Czech Republic will be marked by snow and cold temperatures, which is unusual for this time of year. Despite the gradual warming trend, snowflakes will still fall from middle altitudes over the weekend. However, temperatures are expected to increase next week, with highs reaching up to 15°C.

On Thursday, we will experience a frosty morning, followed by clear or partly cloudy skies during the day. However, it will become mostly cloudy in the afternoon, with occasional light snow showers, and the evening will see increasing cloudiness from the east. Afternoon temperatures will reach 6 to 10°C.

Friday should be mostly overcast, with less cloudiness initially in the west, but it will gradually become cloudy there as well. Some areas in the east may experience light snow that will slowly move to higher altitudes. Morning temperatures will mostly drop to 2 to -2°C, and daytime temperatures will remain between 6 and 10°C, with only 1 to 3°C in the northeast.

Saturday will bring overcast skies with rain or light snow showers from middle altitudes in the east. Morning temperatures will drop to 4 to -1°C, and daytime temperatures will range from 4 to 8°C.

Easter Monday will be mostly cloudy to partly cloudy, with scattered showers during the day. Morning temperatures will remain between 4 and -1°C, and daytime temperatures will range from 8 to 12°C. However, Honsová warned that it will be comparably cold to Christmas Eve.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, it should remain mostly cloudy to partly cloudy, with scattered showers occasionally occurring on both days.

The unusual weather conditions during Easter in the Czech Republic could be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes in the jet stream and other climate-related phenomena. It is a reminder that weather patterns can be unpredictable, and it is essential to be prepared for any eventuality, even during traditionally milder seasons like spring.
