Dynamic Weather Hits Poland: Cold, Rain, and Thunderstorms Expected

Poland is bracing for dynamic weather conditions, characterized by cold spells, rain, and thunderstorms. The country is currently influenced by a weak ridge from the Azores High, but a trough from a Norwegian Sea low is bringing a cold polar maritime air mass, particularly to the east and south.

Wednesday will see significant cloud cover across the country, with clearer spells in the southeast. The northwest and west will experience intermittent rain and localized thunderstorms in the afternoon. Other regions will face steady or intermittent rain, with moderate to heavy downpours possible in the south. Afternoon thunderstorms, some with hail, are expected in the southeast.

Maximum temperatures will range from 14-16°C in the south to around 20°C in most areas, and up to 24°C in the far east. Winds will be light to moderate, with gusts up to 60 km/h during thunderstorms, potentially reaching 70 km/h in some areas. Higher elevations in the Carpathians may also see wind gusts up to 60 km/h.

Overnight, cloud cover will remain high with rain expected in many areas. Thunderstorms are possible in the east and southeast, and initially in the north. Rainfall intensity may be moderate to heavy, especially in the south and east. Minimum temperatures will range from 8-9°C in the north and foothills to 16°C in the east. Winds will generally be light, with gusts up to 65 km/h during thunderstorms.
