What to Bring by Season

This weather forecast for Prague is generally fairly accurate. We don't like the longer forecasts of 10 days, because they inevitably change after the first 5 days anyways.

The packing tips below for each season and month will also help you plan ahead.

Of course, the key to packing and the weather is flexibility - no matter what the weather forecast for Prague says. With the exception of winter, it's possible to have unseasonable weather in any season.

For example, Prague's weather is known for a few tricks like cool days in July. So, be as flexible as when you can!

Spring Weather in Prague - March, April and May

Spring is a great time to visit Prague. However, it's a very tough season to prepare for because the weather swings from sunny to wintry depending on the day.

If you're coming in March, it's likely to be cold. So bring winter accessories like a hat, scarf and coat. April is usually more mild and May is often the best month of the year in our opinion.

May is usually just warm enough but not too hot for sightseeing - a nice balance.

We wouldn't pack shorts unless you are coming for the traditional summer months. The mornings and evenings will always be much cooler in the spring months. Dress in light layers with a jacket, long sleeves and always bring good walking shoes.

Summer Weather in Prague - June, July and August

The summer weather forecast for Prague is inevitably warmer than spring. But first, June can be a little tricky.

Spring sometimes likes to hang on all the way to July. So check the forecast above for details. June can also be a little on the wet side.

July and August are the warmest months with temperatures sometimes reaching 32 C / 90 F. So, summer is the easiest to pack for - bring shorts, light shirts, trousers (pants) and always a light jacket or sweatshirt just in case.

And, don't forget your sunglasses. Evenings can still get cool sometimes especially if an afternoon shower has come through.

Autumn Weather in Prague - September, October and November

Autumn in Prague can be quite nice. Many people think it's the best time to visit as the temperatures start to cool.

September is usually warm but the mornings and evenings are always cooler. So, bring a light jacket or something you can take on and off and carry throughout the day.

Prague weather in October is cooler but still a great time to visit. You might find less crowds too. The nights are even colder, so you might bring a warmer jacket and a hat to be safe. You might find a little wet weather too - so bring appropriate shoes and socks.

November, unfortunately, has the least amount of sunny weather. It could even be considered winter for many people. It's not uncommon to have a snow flurry or two during this month. So pack warm clothes. Even if it turns out to be a mild month, it will be quite cold at night with a lot less daylight than warmer months.

Please note: Prague's weather in November and even parts of October can be quite foggy. This weather pattern is actually more like smog, and is technically referred to as inversion.

Unfortunately, most online weather forecasts for Prague don't take inversion into consideration - thus they will often call for sunny skies, when in fact, we have smoggy and foggy conditions on the ground. This contrast is most startling when you compare the weather in the mountains and Prague on the same day. Higher elevations often have beautiful days when we are mired in gray skies.

Winter Weather in Prague - December, January and February

Winter in Prague is usually cold - there's no getting around it.

I can be the cheapest time to visit, but that doesn't keep you warm outside. Outside of the holidays, there are plenty of deals to be found.

Pack warm items: gloves, hat, scarf, coat, warm socks and shoes. Snow is more common in January and February, but the city center streets are cleared pretty quickly.

The best advice for sightseeing and winter weather we can give... treat your hands and feet very well! Once these are cold, sightseeing in Prague can be miserable. Thankfully there are plenty of places to stop and warm up along the way.
