Czech Republic: Adverse nationwide weather warnings issued April 3-4
Officials warn of adverse weather in Czech Republic April 3-4. Exercise caution, particularly when driving.
Event
Officials have issued yellow and orange (third- and second-highest levels) warnings for snow and ice across much of the country April 3-4. Authorities have warned that roads could become impassable and that visibility could be impaired in places. Authorities will likely issue new alerts or update/rescind existing advisories as weather conditions change over the coming days.
Heavy snow will likely make driving hazardous in some areas; authorities could implement temporary road closures or detours in such locations. Mountain passes and tunnels could be closed as a precautionary measure during periods of intense snowfall. The disruptive weather could cause some delays and cancellations at regional airports. Snow could block regional rail lines; freight and passenger train delays and cancellations are possible in areas that see heavy rainfall and potential track blockages.
Advice
Monitor local media for weather-related updates and advisories. Confirm all transport reservations and business arrangements before traveling in the affected area. Seek updated information on road conditions before driving or routing shipments through areas where severe weather is forecast; plan for possible supply chain disruptions throughout the affected areas. Exercise caution in elevated terrain due to the threat of avalanches.
