Czech Republic's June heat record tops its own July and August highs

The Czech Republic hit 41.9°C on June 28, 2026, per the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. That surpasses the country's all-time July record of 40.2°C (1983) and August record of 40.4°C. In Central European climatology, peak temperatures typically occur in July or August, not June. Prague's Clementinum observatory, measuring since 1752, anchors the historical baseline.
