Summer in Poland should be hot, sunny with thunder storms from time to time. π
Well, it can be also rainy and not nice; difficult to predictβ¦

Poland – Spring
I love spring with sunny days, full of flowers.
I also think, that spring is the best period to visit Poland, especially May. π
Poland – Climate
Poland has a typical continental climate, with 4 seasons, i.e., spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
The north part of Poland (coast) has rather oceanic climate,
and in the south (mountains) the weather is slightly different;
but in general we have 4 seasons.
Actually, as a child, I thought that each country has 4 seasons, and in each country are mountains, sea, forest, lakes, desert – just everything in different proportions. π
Poland – Cold Country
I often heard from people who never been to Poland that Poland is a very cold country (=with long, extremely cold winter). They would never said it about Germany, but Polish climate is like the climate of about half of Germany.
Winters in Poland can be very cold, but they can be also quite mild.
Anyway, winter lasts only 3 months; there is still spring, autumn and hot summer.
Poland – Flag
The flag of the Republic of Poland consists of two horizontal stripes, the upper one white and the lower one red (a white, crowned eagle is sometimes added, but it’s our coat of arms).
There two other countries that have very similar flag, just up side down ;), it’s Indonesia and Monaco.
Poland – Location
Geographically, Poland is located in the centre of Europe;
however, it’s usually described as eastern European country.
Poland is bordered by Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania and Russian Kaliningrad Oblast.
And by the Baltic Sea to the north.
Poland – Introduction
Welcome to Poland. π
This month, I’m going to show you pictures of my country.
First, I’m sorry for the quality, but many of them were taken many, many years ago.
Second, I’m not sure how real the image of Poland is going to beβ¦ I don’t live in Poland since years, so may be more sentimental than realisticβ¦
Well, we’ll see. π
