Karlovy Vary sits in a narrow valley of the Ore Mountains in western Bohemia, a famous spa town where the enclosed mountain setting brings more rainfall than the open lowlands further east, and the Tepla River can rise quickly after heavy rain. CHMU’s national radar network covers this Ore Mountains valley district.
