In the first half of March, Poland experienced unseasonably warm weather, with temperatures approaching 20 degrees Celsius. However, this week marked a reversal as temperatures dropped and rainfall, along with rain mixed with snow, was observed in the western and southern parts of the country. According to the long-term forecast from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW), more fluctuations in weather are expected as we approach Easter 2026.

Agnieszka Prasek, a spokesperson for IMGW, commented on the upcoming weather, stating that the country will experience a few days of variable, spring-like weather characterized by alternating cool and warm periods. Despite the fluctuations, March is projected to be warmer than usual, with temperatures in the western regions potentially reaching about 2 degrees above the long-term average by the end of the month.

Looking ahead, another shift is anticipated around the end of March and the beginning of April, with experts predicting a substantial cooling trend. The forecast suggests that this forthcoming cold wave could significantly alter the weather conditions in the lead-up to Easter, resulting in a more traditional and potentially colder Easter experience for residents in Poland.
