At the end of the year, the long-term daily average is 0.9 ° C, with the usual highs being around 2 ° C. “Temperatures over ten degrees at the end of the year are not common, they are highly above average. But this is not unusual or extreme. The situation is now such that hot and cold air alternate rapidly. It cannot be ruled out that historical values will be exceeded during Friday, but according to the models it should not, “said meteorologist Michaela Valachová from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.
Frequent temperature fluctuations characterize almost the entire second half of December, which is due to the winds blowing from the Atlantic. “Windstorms are common in the British Isles at this time. Dynamic weather sometimes comes to us as well. When there is a strong wind in the winter, even high temperatures come, it is usually connected. It was typical, for example, on Christmas Day, as soon as it warmed up, it blew more, “Valachová explained. While in the west and south of Bohemia it warmed already on Thursday evening, most of Moravia and even north-eastern Bohemia enjoyed a white holiday morning.
