Timeanddate / CustomWeather’s Brno / Turany table uses weather reports from 1992–2021. The page’s displayed December averages are high 3°C, low -2°C and monthly precipitation 40.1 mm. Packtricia extends each displayed temperature by 2°C either way as a packing reference, not a forecast range or limit on extremes. This commercial airport baseline is not an official WMO standard normal and does not describe the city centre exactly. Monthly rainfall is not a daily rain probability; Petrov and Castle exposure, underground interiors and your actual trip forecast matter.
