The climate of Warsaw (Poland)
Warsaw is located on the banks of the Vistula river (Wisla) in the
Mazovia province. Warsaw is the capital of Poland. Most of the old
buildings can be found around the beautifully restored market square.
This part of Warsaw was rebuilt and restored with such great care that
it is also known as the miracle of Warsaw. The entire old city center
is a Unesco world heritage site. West of the old center a modern
suburb is situated. Here you can find modern buildings. Several
theaters, a concert hall and an opera house can be found in Warsaw.
The Warsaw-pact was signed here; a military union of communist
countries in East-Europe. This pact was in existence for almost 40
years and was the communist equivalent of NATO. Warsaw has a moderate
continental climate with relatively warm summers and cold winters.
Winters can be very cold with temperatures around freezing point on
average. Summers can be warm; temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius are
not uncommon. The best time to visit Warsaw is in May or June. Winters
are the driest period. Warsaw gets a little less rain than other
places in Poland. Summers are slightly warmer.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
