What Weather to Expect Each Month

Prague’s weather changes throughout the year, and knowing what to expect can help you plan your visit more comfortably. In winter, especially January and December, snow is quite common, with up to 12 snowy days in January and 9 in December. Clear skies are rare during these months, with just 1 or 2 sunny days, and temperatures often stay below 5°C. While cold, the city looks magical under a layer of snow, especially during the Christmas season.

Spring brings a gradual shift. March still has snow on around 6 days and some rainy days too, but by April the snow is almost gone. April typically sees around 7 rainy days and some gusty weather, while May becomes more pleasant with 9 rainy days, no snow, and mild temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. It’s a beautiful time for walking through blooming parks and exploring the city before peak tourist season.

Summer is the warmest season but also one of the wettest. June and July each bring about 9 to 10 rainy days, though the showers tend to be short. Daytime temperatures often go above 25°C, especially in July and August. While early summer has few clear-sky days, August becomes a bit sunnier with around 5 clear days, making it a great time to enjoy outdoor events, cafés, and river cruises.

Autumn begins with a mix of cooler air and changing leaves. September has about 7 rainy days and 3 clear-sky days, along with mild weather that’s perfect for sightseeing. October cools further with 5 rainy days, and by November snow starts to return, with around 4 snowy days and only 1 clear day. Temperatures drop from around 16°C in September to near freezing in November, so it’s wise to dress in layers.

Conclusion: What's the Best Month to Come to Prague?

There isn’t one specific time that’s best for visiting Prague, as each season and month has its pros and cons – it really depends on what you’re looking for. If you enjoy walking through the city and sightseeing, April and May are great options, with pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists. The beginning of September can also be a lovely time to visit, offering summer-like days with fewer visitors.

The summer months are, of course, warmer, but sometimes a bit too hot and noticeably more crowded. December is one of the peak periods thanks to the festive and magical atmosphere of the Christmas Markets.
