Czech Republic records its hottest temperature ever — in June

The Czech Republic reached 41.9°C on June 28, 2026, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute reports, topping July's record of 40.2°C (1983) and August's 40.4°C. Central Europe's peak heat typically falls in July or August, not June. Prague's Clementinum observatory, recording since 1752, anchors the historical baseline against which this anomaly is measured.
