Weather & Dress for Last Two Weeks in September.

We were in Poland a couple years ago at about the same time. It may have been earlier in September. It was unseasonably cool. It was during COVID and we were a little chilly dining outside, but made due. I have some Jambu black mary jane type shoes that are meant to be worn without socks. I ended up buying some black socks to wear. It was sunny and not particularly breezy, but it was quite cool. Layers would be my suggestion

I was in Gdansk the first week of April - also a shoulder season - the weather was all over the place, overcast, damp and chilly with showers the day I arrived, and then balmy a few days later.

Keep in mind that Gdansk, situated on the Baltic, may have a different climate from what you'll experience farther south in Warsaw and Krakow. So I would suggest planning for anything, with plenty of options for layers and rain. I always travel wearing waterproof shoes, which also came in handy when visiting Auschwitz on a rainy day the following week.

Hopefully you've added time before and after the tour, as there is so much to see.

TravelMom, definitely a little chilly when the sun goes down. This is my go-to website:

Thank you all for your comments. I very much appreciate it. I will be traveling in a carryon suitcase and personal item bag so packing strategically is in order. Looks like layers , a rain jacket, and close-toed shoes will be on order. Thanks again for commenting.

I’ve been watching the weather as well. I’ll be on the 9/17 tour. Are you on that tour?

TravelMom and Diane, looks like we'll miss you guys by a few days as we depart September 15. Looking forward to both of your trip reports.

A quick check indicates highs around 75-80 and lows near 60.

Hi,
The weather in Poland is different from the weather in Northern Germany, because it rains less than in Hamburg, for example ;)
Well, the beginning of September is very hot! We have more than 30 degrees during the day in Poland and also in Berlin, where I am answering from right now! Cooler evenings.
Normally in September in Poland it should be between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius.

What the weather will be like in the second half of the month - hard to predict. But there are some truths:
- Mornings and evenings will be chilly. Bring something warm.
- Rain is expected, so take raincoats.
- If you are going to the sea or the mountains - take a light winter hat. It can come in handy and weighs almost nothing.

If you're staying in a larger city for a few days, you can use the public laundries, which are becoming increasingly popular.

I hope this helps.
Best,
Tomasz

If you're staying in a larger city for a few days, you can use the public laundries, which are becoming increasingly popular.

In Warsaw I did laundry at a Speedqueen 24, near the Chopin B&B - clean, easy, menus on the kiosk in English, takes credit cards...

I brought a quilted barn jacket and needed it sometimes, but when the sun was out mid afternoon a warm sweater was enough.

It's looking like great weather in September. Highs 70s and lows mid to upper 50s.

Currently, it's a bit rainy - https://www.dw.com/en/europe-heavy-rains-batter-poland-czech-republic-austria/live-70216853

Dangerous flooding and wet weather in southern Poland in the coming days. Here's some news from a Polish news source I sometimes follow:

It's almost impossible to forecast the weather during the second part of September. You'd better take some warm clothes with you, umbrellas and caps.
