Poland is under the influence of the Xavielle cold high pressure system with centers over northern Sweden and the Baltic countries. Cold, arctic air flows in from the north. However, during the day, the influence of Harry’s deep low pressure system from the British Isles, with the occlusion front zone above German territory, will be marked, so a slightly warmer, milder mass of polar-sea air will flow over the western regions of Poland, the source area of which will be the Atlantic.
