Weather: Heavy storms with hail, torrential rain and wind up to 70 km/h hit the Czech Republic

Storms coming from Germany will be accompanied by hail up to 2 cm and wind gusts around 70 km/h and short-term intense precipitation. But that’s not all. “During the afternoon and evening, the storms should merge into larger units – so-called MCS – mesoscale storm systems. There is a particular risk of wind gusts (again up to around 70 km/h) and torrential rainfall. These will progress from west to east to northeast and will move relatively slowly.” meteorologists explain.

Levels will rise, temperature will fall

It is the gradual or repeated passage of storm systems through the landscape that could cause problems with water drainage in the landscape, especially in the north of Vysočina after Sunday’s greater saturation of the soil. “The vertical wind profile mostly indicates the potential for cluster organization, although an exceptional supercell cannot be ruled out in places with local wind shear enhancement,” added by the ČHMÚ. You can see the updated progress of storm activity from Monday afternoon here:

The wavy frontal interface will move from central Europe further to the southeast, and colder air will begin to flow towards us on the back side of the pressure low over northeastern Europe. Tuesday’s temperatures will be between 12 and 16 °C, and it will rain in most of the Czech Republic, even persistently in some places.
