Winter is knocking on the door. The weather on All Saints' Day will be very harsh

End of warm days. The gray autumn weather is approaching

According to the latest weather forecasts, there will be significant cooling and typical autumn weather ahead of us. From Saturday, cloudy skies and fleeting, sometimes heavy rainfall interspersed with drizzle will dominate the entire country. Temperatures will drop significantly compared to recent days, when thermometers showed values ​​above 10 degrees Celsius.

The next few days will have temperatures of more than 7-10 degrees, maybe even up to 12 degrees somewhere in the west, and the mornings will also be cold, around 5-7 degrees, so we have to prepare for the more November-like weather, predicts Anna Gryczman from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management.

Watch out for frosts. The first snow not only in the Tatra Mountains

Nights in the middle of next week may be a real challenge for residents of many regions of the country. Forecasters warn that the temperature will then drop below zero, which means there is a possibility of night frosts. This situation may be particularly noticeable in foothill and mountain regions, where the first snowfall of this season will occur.

Snow will not be limited only to the highest parts of the Tatra Mountains. White fluff may also appear in towns located at the foot of the mountains, and the landscapes of Podhale will gain a winter character.

Winter paralysis on November 1? The IMWM expert warns

The upcoming All Saints' Day will be particularly difficult for the residents of Zakopane and the surrounding area. Forecasts indicate that this year November 1 may bring snow. The head of the Zakopane branch of IMWM, Paweł Parzuchowski, emphasizes that such a situation is rare:

"Contrary to appearances, this is not common in the 21st century - only twice was it white on All Saints' Day in Zakopane. However, this year, everything indicates that we will experience the worst type of weather, neither typical winter nor typical autumn, a mixture of everything: fog, cloudy, wet, cold weather."

A foretaste of winter. How to prepare?

Although winter is still a few weeks away, residents of southern Poland can already get a foretaste of it. The coming days will require warmer clothing and preparation for changeable, unpleasant weather conditions. The forecasts leave no doubts - the coming period will be a real mix of autumn and winter weather phenomena that may make everyday functioning difficult, especially in mountain and foothill regions.
