I have a few minutes before our next “hop on the bus” moment and so will tell you a little about the weather here in Poland.
First the big picture. We have crossed the Wisla river a number of times, first near it’s end near Gdansk, later near Sandomirz, and a few times on our way to Rzeszow. It is way over its banks, and there is a lot of flooding. Our guide was talking to a local person at one point who told how they had to evacuate their home and their first floor got flooded. And we’ve seen lots of fields with standing water. So that is a problem for agriculture as well.
As for us, we’ve enjoyed fairly pleasant weather so far, though a bit chilly. Mostly our highs have been in the 60s and into the 40s or 50s overnight. We’ve had generally partly cloudy to partly sunny weather. We have not really gotten rained on at all….yet. THe one time there was a bit of rain I’d left my umbrella in the bus. We’ve had some rain while traveling in the bus, but never very heavy, and never for long. A black cloud will come up, put out some rain, then move on and next thing you know we’re seeing some sun. However. it is definitely fall and definitely jacket weather here, too.
There, now you know about the weather here. Of course, you can always go online and find out about it as well. Dzien dobry!
Every morning I read your blog and get my Poland fix for the day. Thanks for including all of us on the trip! Yes, we feel like we are there! Your weather isn’t too different from what we’re getting around here in central Wisconsin. Love you, bro!
Hi Leon, Thanks so much for your wonderful blog!!! You have no idea how we wish we could be there with you and this is sure a close 2nd to that!!! Some things I wonder about, what are the others in your group like? Are they younger or older and do most have family there? Was there a special reason the tour is at this time of year? Our weather here is turning quite drastically, I’d say, at least here in the north. The last week we have been in the 70’s, even dipping into the 60’s at night, so we can relate to the changing of seasons. Take Care : )!
