Climate in the different regions

The climate varies slightly between regions: the Baltic coast has milder winters and cooler summers, the central plains experience a typical continental climate, while the mountain areas have longer and snowier winters.

The Baltic coast in the north enjoys a moderate maritime climate, with mild winters and cool summers. Constant winds characterise this area, bringing uniform humidity and precipitation throughout the year. Moving inland, the vast central plains embrace a more continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters. Here, temperature variations between day and night are more pronounced.

The lake region in the north-east is characterised by long, cold winters and short but pleasant summers. The high concentration of lakes influences the humidity of the air, creating a unique microclimate.

To the south, the mountainous Tatra and Sudetenland regions offer an Alpine climate with snowy winters and cool, rainy summers, ideal for winter sports and summer hiking.

Finally, the south-eastern region has a drier, continental climate, with hot summers and cold but less snowy winters than the north. Here, the intermediate seasons tend to be longer.

In general, moving from west to east, the Polish climate becomes progressively more continental, with colder winters and warmer summers. This climatic diversity makes Poland an attractive destination in every season, offering varied experiences to visitors, from Baltic beaches to mountain ski slopes.
