Abstract: The map created represents the result of an application of Quitt's Climate Classification to a dataset of climatic characteristics of the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2000. The Quitt's climatic classification is based on dividing a territory into climate regions (units) according to complex climatological characteristics. These units represent specified classes defined by the combination of values of 14 climatological characteristics. All units are included in three basic climatic regions: warm, moderately warm and cold. The classification is popular as it allows the definition on a single map of site boundaries where there are changes in climatic characteristics. There are 17 climatic units (from a 23 possible units) recognized for the given time period in the Czech Republic. The study includes an assessment of compliance of the resulting map with the actual values of selected meteorological characteristics. The map provides a comprehensive overview of climatic characteristics for the Czech Republic.
