Weather to Surprise at the End of Summer with Temperatures Reaching Up to 30 Degrees

The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management reports that while cool polar maritime air currently affects Poland, upcoming days will bring a significant warming trend with temperatures reaching up to 33 degrees Celsius.

Current Weather Conditions

Currently, as reported by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, a high-pressure system stretches from the North Sea to the Black Sea, while other areas of the continent are under the influence of low-pressure systems with main centers in the Gulf of Finland and the Iberian Peninsula. Poland is within the range of the aforementioned high-pressure system, only in the northern part of the country is the influence of a shallow low-pressure trough associated with a low from northwestern Russia and a secondary atmospheric front noticeable. Cool polar maritime air is flowing in.

Weather Forecast for the Coming Days

On Monday (August 24), small and moderate cloud cover should be expected in the south and southwest. However, there may be somewhat more clouds in the rest of the country. There may also be passing rain showers, and locally even thunderstorms in northern and northeastern Poland. As IMGW forecasters predict, the total precipitation will not exceed 10-15 mm.

The maximum temperature will range from 18 degrees in the northeast to 22-23 degrees Celsius in the south and west. The wind will be light and moderate, coming from the west and northwest. During thunderstorms, wind gusts will reach up to 65 km/h. At night, passing rain may occur in the north. Thermometers will show a minimum of 8 degrees Celsius in the south, up to 13 degrees Celsius in the northwest, and 14 degrees Celsius on the coast.

Similar conditions are forecast for Tuesday (August 25). Cloud cover is expected to be small and moderate, and at times heavy in the northeast as well as the southern and southwestern extremes with passing rain showers. Meanwhile, thunderstorms may occur in the northeast.

The temperature will range from 19 degrees in the northeast to 24 degrees Celsius in the west and south, and locally around 18 degrees Celsius in foothill areas. The wind will be light, occasionally moderate and gusty in the south and southwest, blowing from easterly directions, and only from northerly directions in the northeast. The wind will be gusty during thunderstorms.

Global Temperature Records and Weekend Warming

This year’s July was the hottest July in history in terms of ocean surface temperature, writes Aleksander Gurgul on Wyborcza.pl.

However, as the IMGW forecast shows, each consecutive day is expected to be increasingly warmer. This will be felt particularly by residents of the southern and western parts of the country. Already on Thursday (August 27), the maximum temperature will range from 20 degrees Celsius and 21 degrees Celsius in the north to 27 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius in the south and southwest.

Friday (August 28) will be the warmest day. On this day, thermometers will indicate a maximum ranging from 22 degrees Celsius on the coast and 23 degrees Celsius in the northeast, about 28 degrees Celsius in the center, up to 33 degrees Celsius in the southwest. The wind is expected to be mostly moderate and gusty. It may be stronger at times on the coast, with gusts up to 55 km/h. Passing rain showers and thunderstorms, locally with hail and wind gusts up to 90 km/h, may occur in the western part of the country.
