Czechia has one season for van life and it is a short one. The country is landlocked, continental and several hundred kilometres from any sea, which means warm summers, cold winters and little in between. May to September is the window. Outside it, nights fall below freezing often enough that a van without proper heating and an insulated water system becomes a problem rather than an adventure.

BestWorkableToo hotCold or wetTop figure: average daily high. Below it: average rainfall for the month.

Every figure in the strip is a 1991 to 2020 mean daily maximum and a monthly rainfall total for the station named in the row, published by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. The Churáňov and Prague rows were calculated from the institute's own open data because neither has a ready-made climate box. The Šumava row is the one to look at twice: it is the wettest by a wide margin and it explains why the forest up there is the colour it is.
