Summer is usually wet and warm in the Czech Republic. The average high temperature reaches up to 26°C. The peak temperature can reach up to 30 °C in August but summer nights are cool and comfortable.

The summer typically starts from June onward till early September. September and October are beautiful too as the end of summer and the beginning of winter makes the colour of nature very memorising and you feel meditative just by being in nature.

Summer in Czech Republic: Things to do

First up, for those spending summer in Czech Republic’s capital city, we have details on all things to do in Prague!
