Czech Republic Records Hottest Night Ever
(MENAFN) The Czech Republic endured its most sweltering night of the ongoing heatwave as temperatures refused to drop overnight from Sunday into Monday, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute confirmed.
Meteorologists recorded minimum temperatures that failed to dip below 25C (77F) at 12 monitoring stations, while nearly half of all weather stations across the country logged tropical nights — defined as temperatures remaining above 20C (68F) throughout the entire night. The institute noted that the frequency of such tropical nights has climbed sharply over recent days as the heatwave has intensified.
No relief is expected Monday. Daytime highs are forecast to surge to as much as 39C (102.2F) across parts of Moravia and Silesia, prolonging the strain on the population and infrastructure. A meaningful cooldown is not anticipated until later in the week, when daytime temperatures are projected to ease back toward 25C (77F).
The crisis extends well beyond Czech borders. Europe's current heatwave — which has triggered red alerts across multiple countries throughout the week — has been declared the most severe ever recorded on the continent, according to a report published Friday by World Weather Attribution (WWA). The study directly links the event's intensity and likelihood to fossil fuel-driven climate change, concluding that the temperatures recorded would have been virtually impossible 50 years ago and far less probable even compared to previous record-breaking heat events.
