A Czech temperature record has apparently fallen in Doksany
On Saturday, June 27, 2026, an absolute temperature record apparently fell in Czechia. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute reported that 40.6 degrees Celsius was measured in Doksany in the Ústí nad Labem Region. The previous maximum of 40.4 degrees had been held since August 20, 2012 by Dobřichovice in Central Bohemia. reflex.cz ↗
Meteorologists also noted that temperatures were still rising slightly, so the measured value might not have been final. Already before 3:00 p.m., the station in Řež near Prague recorded 40 degrees Celsius, the first time the 40-degree mark had been reached in the Czech Republic in fourteen years. According to earlier forecasts by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, the current heat wave was exceptional also in that meteorologists, for the first time, used a forecast interval for maximum temperatures that included 40 degrees. irozhlas.cz ↗
The extreme day was preceded by a tropical night, during which the temperature did not drop below 20 degrees Celsius at a fifth of the measuring stations. It occurred in almost all regions, from lowlands to mountainous areas. The warmest place was the center of Prague, where at Klementinum the temperature did not fall below 23.7 degrees. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The heat wave also affected other parts of Europe. Denmark recorded a temperature record, and in Germany, according to available data, 41.5 degrees Celsius was measured. In Czechia, meteorologists expected the extreme temperatures to continue, with the worst conditions, according to the warnings, expected to arrive over the weekend and persist into Monday in the eastern part of the country. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
