Weather in Prague: What to Wear Each Season
Spring (March – May)
Spring in Prague brings a gradual warming after winter. According to climate data, daytime highs rise from around 9 °C in March up to 18 °C by May.
Shop-window cafés open, parks bloom, and you’ll appreciate layering.
What to wear:
- A light to medium jacket (think a trench or rain shell) — mornings and evenings can still feel crisp.
- Sweaters or long-sleeve shirts underneath.
- Scarves or wraps for changeable weather.
- Comfortable walking shoes (Prague has many cobbled streets).
- Maybe an umbrella or packable rain jacket — spring sees moderate rainfall.
Style tip: Go for lighter colours and breathable fabrics as the days get sunnier. Spring is a good “shoulder season” with milder weather and fewer crowds. +1
Summer (June – August)
Summer in Prague tends to be the warmest part of the year, with average highs around 22–24 °C in July and August.
That said, nights can still become cooler, especially near the river or after sunset.
What to wear:
- Light, breathable tops (cotton or linen) and comfortable trousers or skirts.
- A light jacket or cardigan for evenings.
- Sunglasses, hat and sunscreen — the sunshine hours are longer and brighter.
- Comfortable sandals or walking shoes suitable for warm weather.
- A small rain layer or umbrella just in case — summer is also the wetter season in Prague.

Style tip: Try to pack stylish but practical — many cafes and restaurants have a relaxed but elegant vibe. Avoid overly athletic attire when going to indoor historic sites.
Autumn (September – October)
Autumn is often a very pleasant time to visit: mild temperatures, beautiful foliage and fewer large tourist crowds.
Daytime highs drop from around 20 °C in September to about 14 °C in October.
What to wear:
- Medium-weight jacket or coat (a leather jacket or a wool blend works nicely).
- Long-sleeve layers and maybe a light sweater.
- A scarf or wrap—it adds warmth and style.
- Closed shoes with good grip (for damp days or fallen leaves).
- Consider packing a compact umbrella or rain-resistant outer layer.
Style tip: Autumn colours (browns, burgundies, olive greens) match beautifully with Prague’s historic architecture and give great photo-ops.
Winter (November – February)
Winter in Prague is cold and often grey — average highs hover around 2 °C in January with lows below 0 °C.
Snow is possible and the wind near the river or open squares can make it feel colder.
What to wear:
- A heavy winter coat (preferably insulated and wind-resistant).
- Warm accessories: gloves, hat/beanie, scarf.
- Layering: thermal or wool base layer, sweater or fleece.
- Waterproof or weather-resistant boots with good tread (ice/slush possible).
- Consider a small umbrella or hooded coat for rainy or slushy days.
Style tip: Winter offers magical views of Prague under snow; a dark wool coat and neutral accessories will complement the scene nicely and keep you warm for long sightseeing days.
