A recent heatwave is impacting both agriculture and aquaculture in the Czech Republic. Farmers are implementing cooling measures, including ventilation and water sprays, to protect livestock, but anticipate financial losses due to decreased productivity. Cattle farmers report a reduction of up to 25% in milk production. Fishermen in the Vyškov region have observed fish deaths, particularly among younger populations, attributed to the high temperatures. The AgroRisk portal has highlighted the broader risks posed by the heat and ongoing drought conditions. These extreme temperatures demonstrate the vulnerability of agricultural systems to climate change and the need for adaptive strategies.
