Abstract

The current division of the Czech Republic into climatic regions was carried
out according to basic criteria which meet the assumption of similar conditions for growth
and development of agricultural crops. Ten climatic regions in the Czech Republic were
labelled with numbers 0 (VT, very hot) to 9 (CH, cold). In this paper we have utilized
selected agro-climatic characteristics for these climatic regions, which were not considered
in the original classification. Evaluation was performed according to the daily interval
of agro-meteorological model AVISO with the use of technical series of meteorological
elements of a regular network of 789 grid points (10×10 km) for the period of 1961–2010.
