The dry autumn weather makes itself known
The weather
In the Czech Republic, an area of low air pressure will be felt on Friday, when it will rain in the Jeseníky Mountains (10 mm) and in the Beskydy Mountains, where up to 30 mm of precipitation is expected. It will gradually rain over the entire territory of the Czech Republic, meteorologist Dagmar Honsová told Novinka.
From Sunday, the weather should calm down and temperatures will slowly rise.
The cause of the downpours is the warm Mediterranean Sea, which has temperatures three to five degrees higher than usual at this time. Warmer water naturally results in higher steam. “The air is more saturated with water vapor and the low pressure draws precipitation from the warmed sea, which is why they are so abundant and intense,” said Honsová. The good news is that the water has partially cooled (Adriatic Sea), but it is still high in some parts of the Mediterranean Sea. For example, in Greece it still reaches the level of 29 degrees Celsius.
