In early October 2026, Poland experienced significant atmospheric and meteorological activity. A activity, including a solar coronal mass ejection triggered a strong magnetic storm, creating conditions for that made the aurora borealis to be visible across the country, particularly in northern regions. During this period, meteorologists Meteorologists also monitored the a strengthening of the polar vortex in vortex, with the stratosphere. The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW) has released experimental long-term forecasts for the late autumn and winter of 2026/2027, indicating forecasting a mild start to the season with November and December expected to feature temperatures higher than the 1991–2020 norms. 2026/2027 season. By mid-October, mid-to-late October, meteorological volatility increased. intensified. Cyclone Ulf has brought a unseasonably warm air mass to the south, with some regions potentially temperatures reaching 24 degrees Celsius, accompanied by strong winds Celsius and mountain wind gusts up to hitting 90 km/h in the mountains. However, km/h. This heatwave was followed by a cold front is expected to follow this heatwave, causing a sharp decline in temperatures and bringing winter-like conditions. Forecasters predict conditions, with heavy precipitation, including rain and snow, particularly in the Sudetes, Tatras, precipitation and southern highlands, with snow accumulations potentially reaching of up to 20–30 cm in mountainous areas predicted for the Sudetes, Tatras, and 5–10 cm in southern lowlands. A highlands. As October transitioned into November, a significant shift in air circulation occurred. Forecasts indicated a move toward typical winter conditions, including increased precipitation and freezing colder temperatures, remains with daytime highs rarely exceeding 8 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures dropping below zero, creating risks of frost and icy roads. Heavy snowfall was anticipated in the south and southeast, with mountainous regions potentially receiving 10–20 cm of snow and uplands seeing 5–10 cm. Despite these cold episodes, long-term projections for January 2027. December 2026 suggest temperatures may remain above the 1991–2020 averages in regions such as Mazovia, Lower Silesia, and Lesser Poland, though intermittent cold waves are expected.
