Prague is compared against 1991-2020, not 1961-1990. This thermometer starts in 1971, so the earlier window every other city uses would cover only its warmer final years here, and a figure against that would look like every other city's while meaning something weaker. 1991-2020 is complete for this station, so it is the one shown. The count and the rank are measured on the full record and stand.

Hot here means 31.6 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year is counted to 31 July, so a part-finished summer is never set against complete ones. That threshold is Prague's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.

5 nights so far that never dropped below 20 °C. No multiple is quoted here. Prague averages about 0.1 a year, and dividing by a base that thin produces a large number and no evidence. 24 of the 42 cities are gated this way.
