Kraków's Climate

Kraków lies on the Vistula River in southern Poland and has a temperate climate transitional between oceanic and continental, with four distinct seasons. Summers (June–August) are warm with long days, temperatures usually 20–27°C, and frequent afternoon showers and thunderstorms, while winters (December–February) turn cold, often below 0°C, with snowfall and lingering frost. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are mild and changeable, with plenty of cloud and light rain. The city's low-lying valley setting traps fog and pollution during the cold months.
