Health & climate
Carry water, wear sun protection, and rest in cooled or underground spaces during hottest hours to reduce heat-related illness risk.
Transport planning
Allow extra time for journeys during the summer timetable and heat-related speed restrictions; confirm routes before departure.
Weather preparedness
Pack a compact rain layer and protect electronics against sudden thunderstorms expected in the forecast.

Transport choice
Use metro lines where possible for faster and more reliable travel during the heatwave and summer timetable.
Surface trams are operating at reduced speeds across the city due to high temperatures and a seasonal timetable; metro lines are less affected.
Service disruption planning
Avoid planning critical connections that rely on the section Nádraží Holešovice – Pražského povstání between 2026-07-04 and 2026-07-10; arrange alternatives in advance.
DPP announced a temporary suspension of metro service on that section for track/signalling modernisation covering those dates.
Thunderstorm risk
Reschedule or have contingencies for outdoor activities on 2026-07-01 when thunderstorms are forecast with high probability.
The 7-day forecast indicates a thunderstorm on 2026-07-01 with 100% chance of rain, creating increased risk of interruptions.
