Polar Vortex Disruption Could Set Record for Earliest Ever, Met Office Says

Meteorologists have issued a high-temperature warning in effect this Saturday and Sunday across most of Czechia. According to forecasters, the heat combined with strong sunshine and gradually rising humidity will place extra strain on the body, especially on Sunday.

For southern Moravia, a high (orange) danger level has been declared for Sunday — the most severe warning currently in force.

How Hot Will It Get?

"On Saturday, the maximum temperature will range from 31 to 36 degrees, while on Sunday it will climb to between 32 and 37 degrees. In western and northern Czechia, thermometers will hover around the 30-degree mark," meteorologists note.

Fire Risk Remains High

Due to the very warm and dry weather, an elevated risk of wildfires starting and spreading persists across the country. The situation could change on Monday, when forecasters expect rain.
