Weather in Prague is less different from a weather you’d expect in Britain. Both places have four distinct seasons, unpredictable patterns and high precipitation levels. Temperatures during a Prague summer can reach over 30º, but the most usual would vary from 20°C to 27°C (68°F -80°F).

Summer in Prague also means experiencing a lot of long, sunny days with intermittent dramatic, heavy thunderstorms. Prague’s driest time is during January and towards the latter part of March. Short bursts of rain can be annoying though but what you can do is to sit in a covered pavement café and have a different feel of your Prague summer vacation by observing the city’s skyline cloaked in rain with they grey sky in the background. Make sure you have with you your sweater and umbrella as summer rains are common in Prague.

Visiting Prague in the summer could prove to be a little bit crowded. This is indicative that Prague in summer is still a good time to enjoy the city because there are longer and warmer days so there’s no worry for cold temperatures. Tourist attractions are also open for a longer time.

Tour buses flock during summer to bring in visitors so it’s also a good time to people-watch in Prague. Local flavor would be a bit scarce during this time of the year since most Praguers are in their weekend cottages.

Art, music, and theater in Prague blossom during summer. Many festivals and events grace the city and can be in the form of an opera, or comedy or Shakespearean.

Summer season can considerably be a suitable time to have a trip to Prague despite the number of visitors that may come into the city.
