Poland weather shifts from heatwaves to cooler, rainy autumn conditions

Poland is experiencing a significant shift in weather patterns, transitioning from recent heatwaves to cooler, autumnal conditions. Meteorological forecasts indicate a sharp drop in temperatures, with some southern regions seeing highs as low as 11-13 degrees Celsius. Heavy cloud cover and rain are expected, particularly in the south and southeast, while western and northern areas may experience milder, though still cool, conditions.

Long-term seasonal outlooks from the Copernicus Climate Change Service suggest a potentially mild and wetter winter for much of Europe, with temperatures likely staying above historical averages. In Poland, the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW) predicts that while October and November may remain near normal, December could bring temperatures above the long-term average, potentially reducing the demand for heating fuels like coal and gas.
