Fire warnings issued across Czechia in midst of historic drought. Czechia has seen its lowest rainfall levels since 1961 over the combined March and April period. On average, only around 32 mm of precipitation fell nationwide, roughly one-third of the long-term norm.

Czechia is experiencing its most severe spring drought in more than six decades, with meteorologists warning of increased wildfire risk across large parts of the country.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) has issued fire warnings for a broad belt stretching from the Ústí nad Labem region through central Bohemia to southern Moravia, as unusually dry and warm conditions continue to affect soil moisture levels and vegetation.
