The second half of September in the center of Prague just barely made it into the top ten coldest
The second half of this year’s September in Prague’s Klementin just fell short of ten percent of the coldest in the last 248 years. As a whole, however, the ninth calendar month of this year was unremarkable in the center of Prague. The monthly average temperature of 15.3 degrees Celsius was only 0.1 degrees higher than the average from 1775 to 2014. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) published the data on its website today.
The warmest September since 1775 was recorded in Klementin in 1798. The average monthly temperature then reached 19.4 degrees Celsius. Conversely, the coldest was September 1912, when the monthly average was 10.1 degrees.
This September, it was ranked 117th to 122nd in the Clementine ranking. “It is therefore close to the average median,” said Pavel Jů of the ČHMÚ.
The second half of September was significantly colder this year than the first two weeks. In the period from September 16 to 30, meteorologists recorded an average temperature of 12 degrees Celsius in the center of Prague. With this value, the second half of September 2022 ranks 26th to 28th since 1775, which is where Clementine records go back.
“This means that it barely fit into the ten percent of the coldest second half of September for this period,” Jůza pointed out. Still, according to him, it was not extreme.
The coldest second half of September since 1775 was measured in Klementin in 1912. The monthly average then reached 8.9 degrees Celsius.
