Katowice — Weather today

Katowice is in southern Poland, in Silesian Voivodeship, at the centre of the Upper Silesian metropolitan area, among dense urban districts, woodland and post industrial sites. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because weather on the Silesian Upland can shift quickly, with summer downpours, winter snow, wind on open squares, fog and icy mornings or evenings.

Katowice is often classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb), with clear continental influences. Summer daytime temperatures are commonly around 22-25°C (72-77°F), while winter is often about -3-2°C (27-36°F). Precipitation is possible all year, summer more often brings downpours and thunderstorms, winter can bring snow, sleet, frost and thaws, and spring and autumn change quickly.

Before walks through the Culture Zone, by Spodek, the Silesian Museum, NOSPR, Nikiszowiec, Giszowiec, Kosciuszko Park or Silesian Park, check temperature, wind, precipitation and visibility. The hourly forecast helps choose better times for walks through squares, parks and evening routes, as well as museum visits.
