Erwin is starting to take over the weather in Poland. Most of the country will experience rainfall – rain or sleet. Erwin will move away from us on Friday, and its place will be taken by a low-pressure bay associated with the North Atlantic Gyre. This means an increase in temperature – even to double-digit values.
tvnmeteo.pl forecaster Arleta Unton-Pyziołek informed that Poland is under the influence of the Erwin low. Currently, its center is moving from the North Sea towards the Baltic Sea and southern Sweden.
– The associated cold front will enter Poland on Thursday morning and will slowly advance into the country. By the evening it will not cover only the eastern regions. Pushed by mild and humid polar air masses from the Atlantic, it will bring moderate rainfall, along with snow in the north, she said.
On Friday, the front is expected to move east, beyond the country's borders, and the rainfall will disappear. On Saturday, however, another low-pressure bay will arrive associated with the strong North Atlantic vortex. The northern regions of Poland will be covered by a warm front with light rain or drizzle.
– Low-pressure whirlpools will bring in a lot of moisture from the west, but also warm air masses, in which the temperature may exceed 10 degrees during the weekend. There is no sign of winter until the end of January, added Unton-PyzioÅ‚ek.
Weather for Thursday and Friday
Thursday is going to be cloudy with some showers. From the west, a zone of rainfall of 2-5 liters per square meter will move into the country. There will be sleet in Pomerania, Kujawy and Warmia. It shouldn't rain except in the east, but it may be foggy there all day long. Thermometers will show a maximum of 2-3 degrees Celsius in the north-east and east, through 4-5 degrees C in the center of the country, to 6 degrees C in the south-east. There will be a light and moderate southwesterly wind. In the west and north it can be quite strong, with gusts reaching up to 50-70 kilometers per hour.
