  • Poland is currently under the influence of a large high-pressure system centered over the North Sea, bringing cooler air.
  • Tuesday will see variable cloudiness with scattered rain showers in the north and east, and temperatures ranging from 18ยฐC to 27ยฐC.
  • Wednesday is expected to be cooler, with maximum temperatures between 19ยฐC and 25ยฐC, and continued chances of rain in the northeast.

Poland is currently experiencing the influence of a vast high-pressure system originating from the North Sea, which is pushing cooler polar maritime air into the country. This system is displacing warmer tropical air, particularly in the southeastern regions.

On Tuesday, the weather forecast indicates variable cloud cover, potentially increasing to significant levels at times. Scattered rain showers are expected in the northern and eastern parts of the country. Maximum temperatures will range from 18ยฐC in the north, around 22ยฐC in central and foothill areas, to a warmer 27ยฐC in the southeast. Winds will be light to moderate, becoming quite strong and gusty in some coastal and southern areas, reaching up to 55 km/h in the north and 60 km/h along the coast.

Overnight into Wednesday, skies will be mostly clear, though northern areas may see moderate to heavy cloud cover with possible intermittent rain. Fog is anticipated in some northeastern locations, reducing visibility to 300 meters. Minimum temperatures will range from 9ยฐC to 14ยฐC, with cooler conditions around 8ยฐC in foothill regions.

Wednesday's forecast suggests mostly clear skies in the southwestern half of Poland, with moderate to heavy cloudiness and possible scattered rain showers in the northeastern parts. Maximum temperatures are expected to be between 20ยฐC and 25ยฐC, with cooler conditions near the sea and in the Carpathian foothills, around 19ยฐC. Winds will be light, moderate along the coast, and gusty in some northern areas, coming from northern directions.
