Late January

Here in Alaska it is typically windy at the end of January so I tell visitors to be prepared for cold and wind. We%26#39;re visiting Prague the last week of January and I wonder if that is usually a windy time there as well. If so, I%26#39;ll pack differently because wind and cold are very different from just cold weather! Thank you!

Who knows? You better check a week, ten days before with the weather forecast. Best is to dress in layers so you can adapt to short term weather changes.

I do understand that weather prediction is impossible but there are %26quot;norms%26quot; such as it is normally windy here in Anchorage at the end of January so I advise people to arrive prepared for wind. Is there a norm for Prague? I%26#39;m having to pack my luggage more than 10 days in advance. Thanks.

Really - impossible to say. Last year, for example, the temperatures ranged from +15 to -8 during January, but in 2006 it ranged from +4 to -16.

It will generally be cold, though and probably won%26#39;t be (but might be) windy. A bit of snow, perhaps, but then again probably not.

Thank you - I take it that wind is not something you expect in late January but, of course, it might be windy. Here we expect wind - maybe 50-80 km per hour for about 10 days in late January. It makes the cold temperatures very cold indeed! We thin we are lucky if there is little or no wind!

I can probably pretty safely say that it won%26#39;t be anything along the lines of Alaska, and you will probably be walking around in t-shirt and shorts wondering what all the fuss was about :)

I%26#39;ll pack layers for temperatures below zero but with just a breeze so no really heavy layers or hats and gloves for extreme cold or much wind. Coming from here temperatures 0 C and above will feel nearly warm!

Thanks for your help.
