Life expectancy varies greatly across the Czech Republic according to what region people live in. A boy born last year can expect to reach the age of 74.2 years, while a girl on average will live 80.6 years, according to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) That means a man will live until the year 2095 and a woman until 2101 The average life expectancy regardless of gender in Czechia is 78.3 years, which is a bit below the European Union average of 80.4 years are only guesses based on current conditions Advances in medicine and science could make it even longer while new diseases or global catastrophes could shorten life expectancy The main factors affecting longevity are the environment and the quality of health care He added that regional differences in life expectancy can be expected to persist for some time The longest life expectancy for any Czech region is in Prague at 77.1 years for men and 82.3 years for women Some individual towns have even higher figures Men in Nové Město nad Metují will reach 78.4 and in Šlapanice and Čermošice they can expect to live to 77.8 and Nové Město nad Metují and Náměšť nad Oslavou at 83.4 Residents of the Ústí nad Labem and Karlovy Vary regions have to worst outlook Men are a little better off in the Karlovy Vary region The worst towns for men are Orlová at 71.3 Women have the lowest life expectancy in Litvínov at 78 According to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) and the gap between the best and worst regions grew The biggest increases were in Prague and the Liberec and Central Bohemia regions while the smallest ones were in the Karlovy Vary The Covid pandemic has had a significant effect on life expectancy statistics due to its high death toll. In 2020, life expectancy fell for the first time in several decades, and in 2021 it dropped again, as the country had its highest death toll since World War II It will probably take several years for figures to return to the pre-pandemic level Statisticians Boris Burcin and Tomáš Kučera from the Department of Demography and Geodemography of the Faculty of Science of Charles University told iDnes.cz that life expectancy should start to rise again from this year but it might not reach the 2019 level for women until 2025 The highest average life expectancies in Europe are all in non-EU states: Norway at 83.3 years The lowest are in Romania at 74.2 and Bulgaria at 73.6 Your morning coffee deserves a great companion.

The feast day of Nov 11 aligns with the start of wintry weather in Central Europe with folksy sayings like "Martin is coming on a white horse" symbolizing the arrival of snow There may be some truth in the ancient weather lore Czech meteorologists have forecast snowfall in some parts of the Czech Republic tomorrow possibly fulfilling the prophecy associated with the saint The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute said that while snowfall would primarily accumulate in mountainous regions (Friday saw a light snow cover fall in the Šumava and Giant Mountains with even more substantial accumulation in Sněžka) some lower lying parts of Czechia could also get a dusting of snow on Saturday Saturday's weather forecasts snow at elevations of 600 meters above sea level The institute highlighted the likelihood of snow alternating with rainfall at altitudes as low as 700 meters Continuous snow cover is expected to form in the mountains possibly accumulating up to 10 centimeters primarily on the Šumava ridges well into next week Meteorologists also anticipate snowfall in the Moravian-Silesian and South Moravian regions this weekend particularly in the northeastern mountainous areas The forecast for the upcoming week predicts more snow in the mountains, especially in the latter half of next week, the snow limit could decrease below the projected 700 to 600-meter range which could mean areas closer to the capital would see snow.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has said that El Niño's influence will extend until April 2024, with predictions of above-average temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe likely to diminish the possibility of a white Christmas. Czech meteorologists expect a 1 to 2-degree rise in temperatures above the seasonal average over the next three months.
