It has rained the most during the week from August 3. In it, meteorologists expect the highest weekly totals, mainly due to heavy precipitation from the beginning of the week. “Subsequently, we assume a relatively drier period on average, local precipitation (showers, thunderstorms) will probably prevail, which will lead to greater regional differences in the total monthly total,” said CHMI.

According to meteorologists, the success of the outlook is around 75 percent at temperatures and around 65 percent at precipitation. The forecast for the third and fourth weeks is often close to the long-term climatic values for the respective periods.
