WMO World Weather Information Service, Prague (city 197), supplied by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute and labelled Praha / Ruzyně: 1981–2010 climate baseline. November mean daily maximum 7.2°C, minimum 2.1°C and monthly precipitation 28.3 mm. Reference bands round the temperature means and extend 2°C each way; they are packing aids, not forecasts or limits on extremes. This older airport-station baseline does not describe central Prague exactly or replace newer normals. Rain-day definitions vary by country and monthly totals do not give a daily rain probability. Bridge wind, castle exposure and actual heat or cold spells matter: check your trip forecast.
