The geographical location and surface features are the
two most important factors determining the climate of
Poland. The climate has transitional character between
the maritime and continental climates. Winters are sometimes
mild and sometimes cold, similarly the summers are cool
and rainy or hot and dry. Generally, summer is usually
warm and the most pleasant time to visit, but the plentiful
sunshine is mixed together with rain.  Spring
starts in March with temperatures varying from -1 to +20
°C, until about April or May. July is the hottest month,
but the rest of the summer is also quite warm with temperatures
from 21 to 32 °C. Initially warm September is the beginning
of Poland's autumn. Thereafter, the days become more cold
until December, when winter begins and the temperature
drops from a few degrees below zero to sometimes - 20
°C. Winter lasts from December to March and includes shorter
or longer period of snow. In the high mountains snow lies
till May.
