We’re thinking about planning a semi last-minute trip to Poland for the first two weeks of April. I’ve seen that April weather can be pretty unpredictable, and I’m trying to decide whether that’s just part of the experience or something that might take away from the trip. For anyone who has been to Poland in early April, would you recommend going then, or would you suggest waiting for a different time of year?

In mid April 2022, I traveled around Southern Poland, including the Silesia region and Wrocław (which is on average the sunniest region of Poland), and even then, there were still snow flurries at that time of year. You had to go bundled up still, but I was able to do everything I wanted to. I guess if you are doing high altitude rock-climbing maybe not in April, but it should not be a big issue if you are just going to a museum etc.

It's been a few years (ie pre-COVID) but we spent a month in March/ April in Krakow and as I recall the weather was quite nice - with daytime temps in the 60's and 70's but with overnight lows still pretty chilly (high 30's and 40's). Not as much rain as I expected there to be, and what there was passed pretty quickly and gave way to lots of sunshine. I don't recall it being much of a factor regarding our daily activities. All in all we thought it was a good time to visit.
For info, on the same trip we spent 2 weeks in Zakopane around the end of April - there was still snow in the upper elevations and the hiking tracks were pretty muddy.
