Temperatures and weather condition in Prague. Prague has a continental weather climate with hot summers and cold winters. Weather here is affected by weather patterns from both the east (Siberia) and west (Atlantic). Probably the best time to visit Prague is around May and September when weather is not too hot, not too cold and city is not overcrowded. It is not unusual during summer for temperatures to eventually reach as high as 35C and in winter could be as cold as -15C. Averages high temperatures from May to September are 22C and low 12C with average 7 hours of sunshine. Spring and summer are likely to be the sunniest months, the period between May and August is the rainiest. Snow is rare in Prague during winter. Rainfall is pretty much regular throughout the year, with just a tad more in spring and autumn and the very occasional summer thunderstorm. If you are planning to visit Prague in peak summer, be prepared for crowded restaurants, hotels and a city full of foreign tourists. But all seasons in Prague are beautiful, no matter what the weather is like. If you're coming from UK, the weather is quite similar so there should be no big change for you.
Winter especially December is time to visit markets and join the New Years' crowds celebrating in the streets and time for concert and opera lovers. Winter can be also charming when snowfall cover all historical buildings. Especially Lesser Town looks like in fairy tale. For those days you have to be lucky.
January to March and November are months to go if you want to avoid tourist crowds and pay low season rates for accommodation.
Autumn is lovely time to visit when the days are still bright with sunshine. Beautifully coloured trees, much less crowded streets, make autumn really nice choice.
Spring
is great season if you wish avoid the oppressive heat of summer and see the wonderful blossoms on the fruit trees of Petřín Hill, wander in royal palace gardens or visit leafy grounds of Vysehrad.
Summer is when most travellers heading to this city.
