CLIMATE IN POLAND

Jan Zuchowicz kl IIB
General information
Climate in Poland is moderate. It has the
combined elements of continental and maritime
climate. This variety in Poland’s atmosphere is
primarily due to the collision of the wet Atlantic
air with the dry air coming from the Eurasian
inner. Poland’s climate can be categorized into
six discrete seasons, the 4 common European
seasons – summer, fall, winter, spring and two
other seasons, early winter and early spring.
The length of the seasons in Poland changes
from one geographical area to the other.
Weather
• Generally, Poland receives all kinds of air
masses typical of the northern hemisphere. This
results in a variable climate and considerable
problems with weather forecasting. Poland's
climate is also characterized by substantial
weather changes in consecutive years, caused
by disturbances in the pattern of main air
masses coming to the country. Summer may be
hot and dry a few times in a row and then it
becomes cool and wet. This phenomenon tends
to happen in several-year cycles.
climate in Poland can be described as a
temperate climate with relatively cold
winters and warm summers, which is
greatly influenced by oceanic air currents
from the west, cold polar air from
Scandinavia and Russia, as well as
warmer, sub-tropical air from the south.
Seasons
• Poland has as many as six distinct seasons. Apart from
the four typical European seasons, there are also two
periods described as early spring and early winter . The
seasons hardly conform to the calendar pattern. During
the przedwiosnie, which is about a month long, the
average daily air temperature ranges from 0*C to 5*C.
Spring in Poland lasts usually about 60 days and comes
from the west. The daily temperature at that time ranges
from 5*C to 15*C. This is also when the vegetation
season begins in Poland.
Six seasons
• The seasons, each lasting about two months,
are:
• 1. Winter – January, February
• 2. Pre-Spring – March, April
• 3. Spring – May, June
• 4. Summer – July, August
• 5. Golden Polish Autumn – September, October
• 6. Autumn – November, December
SUMMER
• The greatest amount of sunshine in
summer is to be found on the Baltic coast,
whilst in winter in the Carpathian
Mountains. In the mountains, at any time
of year, the climate is dependent on the
altitude. In Warsaw, temperatures range
from between 20 to 25°C during the
summer months and O to -5°C in winter
SUMMER
The summer, with temperatures above
20*C, begins in May and is about four
months long. In autumn, the average
temperature drops to between 5*C and
15*C.
SUMMER
• July and August – tend to be hot,
however, there is a possibility of a mild
summer, when it winds from east. Then it
can be pretty cold and wet. But usually
they are good solid summers. Sometimes
it doesn’t rain for weeks.
Hottest areas in Poland
•

The hottest part of Poland is the Silesian Lowland, strongly
influenced by the Atlantic air. An important factor is also the
region's location close to higher-lying areas that stop clouds
and moisture, which results in high insolation. The thermal
winter period here is only about 60 days long and winters are
relatively mild, while summers are sunny and hot, lasting over
100 days, which puts them among the longest in Poland.
Average temperature in July exceeds 18.5*C. The highest
temperatures are recorded near Wroclaw, on the Wroclaw
Plain. This is the only area in Poland where the annual average
temperature is over 8.5**C. Because of this mild climate, the
Silesian Lowland has one of the longest vegetation seasons in
the country, lasting 220 days.
SUMMER
POLISH GOLDEN AUTUMN
Almost every year, mid September sees the
coming of Golden Polish Autumn, which is a
warm and sunny transition between summer and
autumn. Leaves start to fall off the trees, but we
can still feel the warm air.
It takes name from the colours of the leaves.
September temperatures vary between 20-30C
and October ones between 15-20C. It’s usually
warm and pleasant, with a reasonable amount of
rain.
Jan Zuchowicz
AUTUMN
Autumn – November and December- it’s
cold, windy, and sloppy. Temperature
drops to around 10C and lower. Days are
short and trees are leafless.
WINTER
After about six weeks, winter comes and
the frosts don't want to go away for a long
time - until late February or early March .
In winter, polar-continental fronts often
dominate, bringing cold, frosty weather
with temperatures far below zero and
sometimes heavy snowfall
Coldest areas in Poland
The coldest spot is the north-eastern corner around Suwalki.
With its morainal hills, postglacial lakes and low temperatures,
this region bears much similarity to the distant Scandinavia.
Harsh and long winters, lasting over four months, earned it the
name of Poland's cold pole. The influence of the continental
climate manifests itself in very low temperatures in winter and
pretty high ones in summer. The average temperatures in the
Suwalki region have the biggest amplitudes in Poland, over
23*C, which is even more than in the mountains. The average
air temperatures in January, the coldest month, are below -5*C,
the lowest in Poland. In summer the average air temperature
drops below 17.5*C. The annual average air temperature in the
Suwalki Lake District is slightly more than 6*C. Predictably,
summer here is one of the shortest in Poland, lasting about 60
days. The vegetation season in this harsh climate is about 190
days long, to which the breathtaking wild nature of the Suwalki
region has become well adapted.
Areas with the lowest precipitation
Paradoxically, the driest part of Poland is
a region abounding in lakes and rivers Kujawy. As it lies in a rain shadow, it sees
relatively rare rains and snowfalls.. Other
factors are the flatness of the terrain and
the lack of any sizeable forests. At Lake
Goplo, the yearly precipitation is just
300mm, which is the lowest value in the
country.
Areas with the highest precipitation
Radically different are the Tatras, where rain, snow or even hail is more likely
than sunshine. Rocks and plants are often covered by hoar-frost. Water
circulation in this area is particularly intense. Retained for a short time by the
mountains or by a snow cover, water escapes quickly as fog or through
crystal-clear mountain streams
The Tatras have the highest precipitation in Poland. This is particularly
evident in the Five Lakes' Valley (Dolina Pieciu Stawow Polskich), where the
annual precipitation exceeds 1800mm of water. The period from April to
October has more precipitation than the winter half-year. June is usually the
rainiest month of the year, while February is the least likely month for any
precipitation (in high mountains, it is September). On Kasprowy Wierch,
there are annually about 230 days with daily precipitation over 0.1mm and
about 50 days when it exceeds 10mm. The mount also has the longest-lying
snow cover. Some snow is blown by winds and when it is warm enough,
water evaporates intensively, which makes an impressive sight.
Summary information about climate
of Poland
Poland’s climate is influenced by a continental
climate from the east and a maritime climate
from the west. As a result, the weather is
changeable, with significant differences from day
to day and from year to year. Winter one year
can be almost without snow, whereas another
year very heavy snows can paralyse transport
for days. Summer can occasionally be cold, wet
and disappointing.
