But the weather in the Czech Republic can again be affected by Saharan dust. It will create clouds that the meteorological models did not expect, he writes on social networks Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. Expected temperatures may then be lower than forecast. The particles responsible for this originally reach us from the southwest to the northwest regions of the Sahara.

Meteorologists point out that this time they are in high and medium clouds, which are significantly more extensive and powerful than numerical models estimated. They also indicate a specific case – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Plzeň. It should have been clear there, but it wasn’t.

The cloud is formed during storms over the Sahara, during which a large amount of sand gets into the air. Thanks to the wind, it can then reach Europe or neighboring African states.

How should the week be?

The pleasant spring weather will last even after the weekend. During Monday expect clear to partly cloudy. Overnight it will be 13 to 9 °C, in the southwestern half of Bohemia up to 7 °C. “It’s because there is only a weak wind,” meteorologist Iveta Kodádková explained to CNN Prima NEWS. Temperatures reach up to 25 °C during the day.
