Recent extreme weather events include heatwaves over 30°C and destructive storms. These conditions have led to widespread damage, such as fallen trees, damaged buildings, and disrupted transportation networks.

July has been particularly busy for firefighters, who received thousands of emergency calls. The worst hit were regions located in the southwest, however most rainfall occurred in northwestern Poland and along the Baltic coast, Polish national news radio station Polskie Radio 24 said..

Some cities recorded precipitation levels far exceeding historical norms, resulting in flash floods halting traffic on key routes. At the other extreme, some areas suffered from severe drought.

On Friday, cleanup efforts and damage assessments from a recent storm continued across the country. Local government services were busy clearing roads and pathways of fallen trees with some also tackling the challenging task of repairing bridges and culverts.

In the northeastern city of Ełk, hundreds of residents remain without electricity.

Overall, local officials estimate that the storm damage amounts to millions of zlotys, primarily due to damaged roads and buildings, as well as destroyed crops.

Meteorologists from IMGW predict a cooling trend, with temperatures dropping to around 20°C by mid-next week, particularly in the northwest.

Despite the lower temperatures, heavy rainfall is expected to continue, especially in southern and northeastern Poland.
