About Prague Weather

Prague's continental climate is profoundly shaped by the Vltava River valley that bisects the city and the surrounding ring of hills and plateaus. The river corridor channels winds and generates fog, while elevation differences of over 200 meters between the valley floor and hilltop neighborhoods create distinct temperature gradients. Winters can see persistent temperature inversions that trap cold air and smog in the river basin, while hilltop districts like Petřín and Žižkov ridge enjoy clearer, warmer conditions above the fog layer.
