Temperatures on New Year’s Eve in the Czech Republic exceeded 18 degrees. They broke the temperature record from 1935 | iRADIO
On New Year’s Eve, meteorologists measured the highest New Year’s Eve temperature in the Czech Republic so far. 18.2 degrees Celsius was in Dobřichovice near Prague and in Prague’s Komořany. The previous record of 16.3 degrees Celsius from Hradec Králové on New Year’s Eve 1935 was thus broken. The December record was set at 28 long-term measuring stations on New Year’s Eve.

Meteorologists recorded the maximum for New Year’s Day at more than two-thirds of places with at least a thirty-year series of measurements, specifically at 112 of 162 such stations. Petra Sýkorová from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) informed about it.
According to Sýkorová, temperature records can also be expected on New Year’s Day. The situation from the turn of the previous year would thus be repeated. Over the territory of the Czech Republic, very to extremely warm air from northwest Africa is flowing from the southwest, the ČHMÚ said on Twitter this morning. “In the next 48 hours, we will measure temperatures in some places possibly up to 15 degrees Celsius above normal for this period,” he added.
The warmest was certainly in Prague and central Bohemia, said Sýkorová. In the east of the Czech Republic, according to the ČHMÚ, temperatures decrease inversely, the air is warmer there only in the higher layers, where they are not measured.
Temperatures in Dobřichovice and Komořany have been recorded for less than 30 years, so meteorologists do not include values from these stations among the 112 New Year’s Eve maxima. The thermometer showed more than 18 degrees Celsius on New Year’s Eve in Neumětely in Berounsk, where it is already a long-term record. The measured 18.1 degrees there surpassed the previous maximum of 13.1 degrees from last New Year’s Eve.
For the New Year, the forecast expects temperature maxima between 13 and 17 degrees Celsius, nine to 13 degrees in Moravia and the north-east of Bohemia. According to Sýkorová, it will be sunnier than today on New Year’s Day. It is thus possible to expect to surpass the highest New Year’s temperature of 15.7 degrees Celsius, which meteorologists measured in Kopisty in Mostek at the beginning of this year.
