Frosty Easter breaks temperature records

A frosty Easter Monday broke temperature records in many parts of the country. Monitoring stations recorded a record night low of minus 22 degrees Celsius in Jizerka in the north of the country, with temperatures in the Sumava mountains in southern Bohemia and in the Moravian Highlands also dropping to minus 20 degrees. A monitoring station in the town of Opava recorded minus 8,2 degrees Celsius, the lowest measured on that day since 1888. Decades-old records were broken in many parts of the country, with snow reported in the lower altitudes.
