Geography

Husinec is located about 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of Prague. It lies in the Prague Plateau. It is situated in a meander of the Vltava River, partly in the valley of the river and partly on a promontory above the valley.

The municipality is known for high average temperatures, which are caused by the specific relief of the landscape and the natural conditions of the river valley. Drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant plants typical of subtropical climates thrive here.[2] On 19 June 2022, the highest June temperature in the Czech Republic was recorded here, namely 39.0 °C (102.2 °F).[3]
