On Sunday, the Czech Republic recorded record temperatures across a large part of its territory. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) announced that half of the country’s 171 weather stations registered higher values than ever before, while more than 95% of them set records for the month of June.
According to specialists, the situation was caused by the arrival of a very warm air mass from the southwest, which brought unusually high temperatures across the country.
