Like much of Europe, the Czech Republic has been grappling with an unprecedented heatwave for the past two weeks, AFP reported.

It added that half of its 171 weather stations registered record-high temperatures on Sunday, while more than 95 percent marked a record for June with many beating Saturday’s all-time highs.
“We still expect hot weather in Moravia and Silesia (east) on Monday. A waving cold front will bring at least partial cooling to Bohemia (west),” CHMI added.
Prague is expected to see temperatures around 33-34C today, with thunderstorms later on.
