Pressure and weather in Krakow
Krakow lies in the Vistula valley of southern Poland, with the Carpathians and the Tatra range rising to the south. Atlantic fronts arrive from the west in autumn and winter, while a strong Siberian or Russian high can settle over the region in winter and trap cold air and smog in the valley. When a low approaches from the south, the mountains can produce a foehn-type wind that brings a rapid warm-up and a sharp pressure change. Summers are warm with thunderstorms fed by moisture from the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
What this means for you
In Krakow, the shift between a stagnant winter high and an incoming Atlantic or southern low is the classic trigger for a weather migraine. A barometric pressure forecast shows that swing coming, and checking the current barometric pressure each morning helps you plan around it.
