This paper presents an analysis of fatalities attributable to weather conditions in the Czech Republic during the 2000–2019 period. The database of fatalities deployed contains information extracted from Právo, a leading daily newspaper, and Novinky.cz, its internet equivalent, supplemented by a number of other documentary sources. The analysis is performed for floods, windstorms, convective storms, rain, snow, glaze ice, frost, heat, and fog. For each of them, the associated fatalities are investigated in terms of annual frequencies, trends, annual variation, spatial distribution, cause, type, place, and time as well as the sex, age, and behaviour of casualties. There were 1164 weather-related fatalities during the 2000–2019 study period, exhibiting a statistically significant falling trend. Those attributable to frost (31 %) predominated, followed by glaze ice, rain, and snow. Fatalities were at their maximum in January and December and at their minimum in April and September. Fatalities arising out of vehicle accidents (48 %) predominated in terms of structure, followed by freezing or hypothermia (30 %). Most deaths occurred during the night. Adults (65 %) and males (72 %) accounted for the majority of fatalities, while indirect fatalities were more frequent than direct ones (55 % to 45 %). Hazardous behaviour accounted for 76 %. According to the database of the Czech Statistical Office, deaths caused by exposure to excessive natural cold are markedly predominant among five selected groups of weather-related fatalities, and their numbers exhibit a statistically significant rise during 2000–2019. Police yearbooks of the fatalities arising out of vehicle accidents indicate significantly decreasing trends in the frequency of inclement weather patterns associated with fatal accidents as well as a decrease in their percentage in annual numbers of fatalities. The discussion of results includes the problems of data uncertainty, comparison of different data sources, and the broader context.

2000–2019年捷克共和国恶劣天气造成的死亡人数

本文介绍了由捷克共和国在2000–2019年期间因天气原因造成的死亡人数分析。死亡的部署数据库包含提取的信息普拉沃领先的日报和Novinky.cz,相当于互联网,并辅以许多其他文献资料。对洪水,暴风雨,对流风暴,雨,雪,釉冰,霜冻,高温和雾进行分析。对于每个人,都会根据年度频率,趋势,年度变化,空间分布,原因,类型,地点和时间以及伤亡的性别,年龄和行为来调查相关的死亡人数。在2000–2019年研究期间,有1164人与天气有关的死亡,显示出统计上显着的下降趋势。归因于霜(31%)的是占主导地位的,其次是釉冰,雨和雪。1月和12月的死亡人数最高,而4月和9月的死亡人数则最低。就结构而言,由交通事故引起的死亡(48%)居多,其次是冷冻或体温过低(30%)。大多数死亡发生在夜间。死亡人数中,成年人(65%)和男性(72%)占大多数,而间接死亡比直接死亡(55%至45%)更为频繁。危险行为占76%。根据捷克统计局的数据库,暴露于过度自然寒冷造成的死亡在选定的五组与天气有关的死亡中显着占主导地位,在2000-2019年期间,其死亡人数具有统计学上的显着增加。警察因车辆事故造成的死亡的年鉴表明,与致命事故相关的恶劣天气模式的频率显着下降的趋势,以及每年死亡人数所占百分比的下降。
