The climate in Poland is influenced by several key factors:
- Its location in the northern temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere and dominance of cyclonic winds.
- Being surrounded by seas to the north, west and south which moderate temperatures.
- Warm ocean currents and proximity to East Asia also affect the climate.
- Varied mountain ranges and shifting high and low pressure systems through the seasons.
Poland experiences a temperate climate with six distinct seasons and average annual rainfall between 550-800mm. Winds are typically weak to moderate but can be strong near coastal areas. Summers bring rain, hail and occasional thunderstorms while winters see frequent snow and morning frost.
