Czech Republic has two climate types, depending on the elevation and proximity to the Northern Sea/Black Sea. Most of the country is at a elevated plateau having harsh winter, and wet summer. This is valid for Sudeten Mountains, and for a region delineated by line Dresden-Prague-Linz. This is zone 5B-6A. The area around Karlovy Vary is very cold and even in summer can experience a frost. This is caused by cold air sinking into the valley. Bavaria across Bohemian-Bavarian mountains has also one of the coldest temperature in Germany.
Eastern part (Zone 6B to 7A) of the county has continental climate, it is a part of the Pannonian basin with low precipitation and a short winter. My grandparents were from southern Moravia where my ancestors lived there since the Middle Ages. They had vineyards under Palava hills, they grew almonds, apricots, peaches, water melons, asparagus, tomatoes, paprika, artichokes, butter squash without problems. Some people were also successful with propagating figs. If I even decide to live back in CZ, than the option will be either Prague for a quality of life or southern Moravia around Palava due good weather and peaceful tranquility among the vineyards.
