Czechoslovakia weather is greatly influenced by the country’s position in the temperate zone and its central European location. Therefore Czechoslovakia weather is typified by relatively mild winters and summers and four seasons of relatively same lengths. However, weather patterns are also characterised by great variations in both temperature and precipitation. As a general rule, temperatures retain a uniformed front across the country’s lower elevation areas, decreasing considerably as altitude increases while in the eastern parts of the country, the temperature extremes are greater.

Winter time is a fairly cold, cloudy and humid period in Czechoslovakia, with frequent light rain and snow. Czechoslovakia’s valleys and lower areas have a generally higher humidity level with clouds being an almost permanent feature in the sky. The first snowflakes begin to leave an impression on the Czechoslovakian landscape as early as November finally stopping as April rolls in. While in the lower elevation areas snow accumulations is rarely over fifteen centimetres at a time, the carpet of snow that covers the land increases according altitude, becoming rather thick in some areas. December, January and February are the coldest months of the year, average temperatures in Prague and the other lowland cities in Bohemia and Moravia hovering around 1°C, dropping to a rather chilly -10°C during February.

Both spring and fall tend to arrive late, with autumn often making an abrupt and unannounced appearance either middle or late September. Lower elevation areas occasionally experience frost towards the end of April and the beginning of October.

Czechoslovakia weather is usually pleasant during the summer period, although it retains its unpredictability. Along with spring, summer has the highest rainfall. Although heavy in volume rain comes in the form of sporadic showers, and most of the summer days are warm and dry, the clear blue skies occasionally covered by scattered cumulus clouds. Average temperatures in Prague usually remain around the 19°C mark during July.

A completely land locked country Czechoslovakia experiences a multitude of rainfall patterns, with levels varying widely between the plains and the upland areas. As matter of fact precipitation in Czechoslovakia fluctuates a lot more in comparison to other areas of Europe, and as a consequence it’s not unusual for the country to occasionally experience droughts and floods.
