  • Prague: March (0-9°C, 21 rain days, 32mm precip), April (6-15°C, 25 rain days, 99mm precip), May (11-20°C, 26 rain days, 110mm precip)
  • Český Krumlov: March (-1-7°C, 22 rain days, 64mm precip), April (5-15°C, 27 rain days, 83mm precip), May (10-18°C, 27 rain days, 181mm precip)

The weather can vary significantly across these cities, and while you might enjoy warmer temperatures in May, precipitation is higher, especially in Český Krumlov.

Planning Considerations

A common tradeoff is the warmer temperatures in May versus the higher likelihood of rain. If you're sensitive to rain or prefer outdoor activities, you may want to consider the trade-offs in your travel style and tolerance for wet conditions. Your specific dates, budget, and preference for indoor versus outdoor experiences will affect your itinerary. Weather patterns can vary significantly year to year, so conditions may differ from historical averages.

Why This Depends on YOUR Trip

  • Your flexibility: If you can adjust dates by a week, you may catch better weather windows
  • Your priorities: Rain-sensitive activities vs indoor cultural experiences affect timing
  • Your budget: Shoulder season offers lower prices but weather varies more
