After the rainy and cold days at the end of April, for which mainly the orchardists and winegrowers paid the price due to the morning frosts, it seems that at the beginning of May, spring is coming to the Czech Republic again in all its beauty and with the appropriate weather. This follows at least from the forecast of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute for the next few days, which frame the two holidays. According to meteorologists, the weather will be warm, although with showers. However, most people will probably have to forgive themselves for the May Day kiss under the cherry blossoms.

Unlike the last three years, this year lovers in the Czech Republic have to mayday kiss find a tree other than a cherry blossom. At least most of them. “Given that this year’s onset of spring began five weeks early, and its course was very April Foolish, cherries in the lowlands and central locations bloomed well ahead of schedule. Later, there was a significant cooling, the development of vegetation slowed down a bit, and we could enjoy the cherry blossoms at least at higher altitudes and on the mountains,” advised Jan Doležal, spokesperson of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.
Unlike the previous three years, this year the May Day kiss will not be under the blooming cherry tree:

A combination of drought and wind can play a role in igniting fires. On Tuesday, the wind will be moderate, but in the afternoon it will temporarily be fresh from the south-east with a speed of 5 to 9 meters per second, in the Vysočina and the north of Bohemia there is a risk of gusts of up to 15 to 20 meters per second, i.e. around 70 kilometers per hour.
