Poland weather extremes: heat, storms, floods, fires

Overview

The late‑June heat wave persisted into July, with daytime highs of 30‑32 °C and night‑time lows around 16‑19 °C across much of the country. In mid‑July, intense thunderstorms swept the nation, bringing 20‑55 mm of rain, hail and wind gusts up to 115 km/h. Localised flooding affected towns such as Kalisz, Jaworzno and Jelenia Góra, while road conditions deteriorated elsewhere – dense fog in Wejherowo and heavy rain with fallen trees in Racibórz rendered many routes unsafe.

Health officials repeated advice to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activity and keep animals safe, especially for seniors, children and the chronically ill. The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy introduced temperature limits for workplaces – work must pause when indoor temperatures exceed 35 °C or outdoor tasks reach 32 °C – after recording dozens of complaints about unsafe heat conditions.

Agricultural markets remained volatile. Rapeseed growers must now submit parcel numbers for EU‑mandated ILUC certification, a requirement that could affect sustainability status and prices. Wheat futures jumped 14 % to €229.5 t⁻¹, driven by disruptions to Russian Black Sea grain shipments after repeated attacks on the Azov‑Doń canal. Farmers are expanding plantings of sunflower, soy, sorghum, millet and other resilient crops, aided by a new SMS price‑alert service.

The drought also pressed water resources: Warsaw’s Jeziorko lake hit its lowest recorded level, and the Żywiec/Tresna reservoir faces costly sediment buildup, underscoring flood‑protection challenges.

Post‑storm, beachcombers on the Vistula Spit reported unusually large amber finds, while authorities warned of remaining sea hazards. IMGW issued further storm warnings for 17‑18 July, forecasting heavy rain (up to 50 mm), hail and winds up to 100 km/h across western and central Poland, with specific alerts for Łódź and surrounding districts urging residents to stay indoors and avoid exposed areas.
