Over the next 3 days we will have to deal with the first in this year strong weather collapse. It will blow very hard and rain, but as of January will be quite warm. With the current forecasts indicate that it will be the last such days, because after all a few winter days will come.

All the bad weather will be associated with low pressure centers trek, which will move from the North Sea over Scandinavia. They will bring in the middle of Europe (including Poland) very strong winds, heavy rainfall, but also a fairly high temperatures for this time of year. In Poland will blow very hard already in the following night, especially in the west and center of the country. Wind gusts locally can reach about 100km/h and more, but usually they shouldn't exceed 80-90km/h. We also expect intense precipitation in the form of rain, sleet and snow. As if this were not enough, already on Thursday we expect a repeat of a windstorm, this time much stronger. The strongest winds are expected in the southern districts of our country, where wind can even exceed 120km/h, and in the mountains well over 150km/h. This day in the whole country will fall very heavy rain, which locally will be combined with snow or snow will fall alone.
