Weather conditions have become difficult in northeastern Poland due to a cold front, but temperatures are expected to rise significantly by the end of the week, heralding the arrival of spring.
Over the weekend, a weather front moved from the west across Poland, bringing with it a mix of snow and rain. In northeastern Poland, the rain may freeze, leading to icy conditions on roads and walkways. The national meteorological institution has issued warnings regarding ice formation, particularly in the Podlaskie and Warmian-Masurian provinces, cautioning residents of hazardous driving conditions due to potential slipping on wet surfaces following the wintry mix.
As temperatures are predicted to remain mild both day and night in the coming week, with highs approaching 15 degrees Celsius by the end of the week, this shift in weather is indicative of the transition toward spring. The Institute of Meteorology and Water Management has so far issued a first-level warning for icy conditions that are effective until Monday morning. This poses a significant risk for pedestrians and drivers alike, and it is essential for the public to remain vigilant.
In parallel with these warnings, meteorologists are also alerting the populace about the possibility of melting snow in the forthcoming days. The juxtaposition of freezing temperatures causing hazardous winter conditions alongside the warmer spring temperatures expected later in the week illustrates the unpredictable nature of early spring weather, affecting daily life and travel for residents of the impacted regions.
