As Poland prepares for a shift in weather conditions, forecasts for Friday, April 18, 2025, indicate a day of mixed weather across the country. After a calm morning, cloud cover is expected to increase, leading to intermittent rain and thunderstorms in various regions.
According to TVN Meteo, the day will start with predominantly small to moderate cloud cover, which may intensify, particularly in the western and southern parts of Poland. Meteorologists predict that scattered showers will develop throughout the day, with localized thunderstorms possible, bringing with them rainfall amounts of up to 15 mm.
The temperature on April 18 is projected to vary significantly across the country. In the southern regions, daytime highs will reach around 20°C, while central and northeastern areas could see temperatures rise to 26°C. Conversely, in Podhale, temperatures are expected to be around 16°C, and the coastal areas may experience cooler conditions, with highs around 10°C.
Wind conditions will also play a role in the weather on Friday. Expect weak to moderate winds, which could become gusty during thunderstorms, reaching speeds of up to 65 km/h, predominantly from southern directions. In the high Tatra Mountains, wind gusts could escalate to 80 km/h, while the Sudetes may see gusts up to 60 km/h.
As night falls on April 18, the weather will shift again. The northeastern part of the country is expected to enjoy clear skies without precipitation, while heavy cloud cover will blanket other regions, accompanied by potential thunderstorms and rain. The southeastern edges may experience rainfall totals of up to 20 mm, with other areas seeing local amounts around 15 mm, particularly during storm events.
Overnight temperatures will drop, with most regions experiencing lows between 10°C and 14°C. Cooler conditions will prevail in mountainous and coastal areas, where temperatures could fall to between 5°C and 9°C. Winds will remain weak and variable, predominantly from southern directions, with gusts reaching up to 60 km/h in the Sudetes and 65 km/h during storms.
Looking ahead to the forecast for the preceding Wednesday, April 16, 2025, a calm day is expected in many areas, but there is still a chance of rain and isolated thunderstorms. Poland will be under the influence of the Darius low pressure system originating from the British Isles, coupled with a flow of very warm tropical air from North Africa and the Mediterranean.
On April 16, a small zone of rainfall is anticipated, with precipitation amounts up to five liters per square meter. This rain zone will stretch over Kashubia, Warmia and Mazury, and northern Mazovia. Following this, two small clusters of rain clouds will move across the country, positioned over the Silesian and Łódź voivodeships and the Lublin voivodeship.
During the day on April 16, the rain zone is expected to linger in the northeastern edges, where isolated storm clouds with intermittent rainfall may develop. In Mazovia, Podlasie, Warmia, and Mazury, there is also a possibility of single storms with weak to moderate intensity.
As the week progresses, meteorologists will continue to monitor these weather patterns closely, providing updates to ensure that residents are prepared for the changing conditions. With the potential for thunderstorms and varying temperatures, it’s advisable for individuals to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
In summary, the weather forecast for Friday, April 18, 2025, indicates a day of increasing cloudiness, with rain and thunderstorms likely in various regions of Poland. The temperatures will vary significantly, and residents should be prepared for gusty winds, especially during storm events. As for the preceding Wednesday, conditions will be calmer but still carry the risk of isolated storms, particularly in the northeastern areas of the country.
