The first snow of the year did indeed fall in the Sumava hills October 7, but Indian summer did make its return, just as meteorologists promised. The past two weeks were warm, with high temperatures some 5 degrees Celsius/9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average. This week's afternoon highs of more than 20 degrees Celsius/68 degrees Fahrenheit saw the return to the streets of Prague of short sleeves and skirts.
