Poland is experiencing a sharp atmospheric transition as a period of record-breaking warmth prepares to give way to a significant cooling trend. Saturday marked the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures reaching nearly 27 st. C in Słubice and Świnoujście on the western edges of the country.
Regional Heat Holds Steady
The current warm spell may intensify in some areas, with the Lubuskie region potentially seeing temperatures as high as 28-29 st. C. This sunny weather, characterized by a lack of precipitation, has created conditions described as vacation-like.
This warmth is expected to persist in the east, south, and possibly the center of the country until Wednesday. Afternoon temperatures in these regions are likely to range between 22 and 26 st. C, while the southeast could potentially see temperatures close to 30 st. C under calm and sunny conditions.
The Cooling Timeline
The transition to cooler weather will occur gradually, moving from the coast toward the interior of the country. Initial signs of cooling may be felt on Monday along the coast, where maximum temperatures are expected to be between 16-19 st. C.
By Tuesday, this trend is likely to encompass most of Pomorze. By Wednesday, temperatures across the north and west of the country may not exceed 12-15 st. C, with stronger winds expected to accompany the shift.
Local conditions under rainy clouds could lead to even lower temperatures, potentially dropping to approximately 8-10 st. C, which may require the use of warmer jackets.
Nationwide Outlook and Frost Risk
Cooler air may spread across the entire country by Thursday. During this period, daytime temperatures nationwide are unlikely to exceed 14-18 st. C, with some areas in the center, north, and west potentially seeing only 10-13 st. C.
This brisk weather is expected to last through the weekend and may be accompanied by occasional rain. There is also a returning risk of nighttime frosts across many regions.
A subsequent warming trend is expected after 10 maja, with temperatures potentially rising above 20 st. C, although this may arrive alongside storms and passing showers.
