Beware of strong winds! A warning is in effect in these seven regions of the Czech Republic

A strong wind is coming to the Czech Republic, warns the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ). The warning is in effect from 12 noon on Thursday until Friday morning. A low level of danger applies in the Moravian-Silesian, Zlín, South Moravian, Olomouc, Pardubice and Hradec Králové Regions and in the Vysočina Region.

It is recommended to secure windows, doors, remove or secure loose objects, secure greenhouses, etc. Take extra care when moving outdoors and when driving vehicles. In the mountains, limit hikes and do not go especially to the ridge areas,” states the ČHMÚ.
