Skiing conditions are excellent, ski resorts report. An unexpected twist coming this weekend
Most ski resorts in Czechia report excellent skiing conditions, but an upcoming warm spell and rain could impact this by the weekend.
Czechia is experiencing favorable skiing conditions, with many ski resorts reporting ideal scenarios for winter sports enthusiasts. This comes as winter temperatures are expected to remain in the country until Friday. However, forecasts indicate a significant warm-up over the weekend, bringing rain and potentially some snowfall in the mountains, which raises concerns about how these changes might affect skiing conditions.
As temperatures are anticipated to plummet to around -10°C on Friday night, locals are bracing for a cold day ahead. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute emphasizes that while a chilly day is expected, a drastic shift will occur over the weekend when daytime temperatures could reach up to 15°C, causing a notable thaw in many regions, particularly impacting ski areas. The warm temperatures will likely dominate the coming week, posing questions for winter sports ahead.
The forecasted warming trend may be detrimental to skiing venues throughout Czechia, as it could lead to a rapid deterioration of current ski conditions. By mid-next week, temperatures at higher altitudes could rise to around 8°C, prompting speculation about the longevity of skiing operations and the overall impact on winter tourism in the region.
