Snowfall was recorded in Poland’s High Tatras mountains on August 24, 2025, for the first time in August since 2010, as temperatures dropped to -3°C (26.6°F) at the summit of Kasprowy Wierch. The event was driven by an Arctic air mass that moved across Poland over the weekend.
Poland’s High Tatras Mountains recorded their first August snowfall in 15 years on August 24, 2025, as temperatures dropped to -3°C (26.6°F) under the influence of an Arctic air mass.
The snowfall began on the night of August 23 and continued into August 24, following the arrival of cold air sweeping across Poland over the weekend.
At the summit of Kasprowy Wierch (1 987 m / 6 519 feet), temperatures dipped to -3°C (26.6°F) overnight, resulting in localized snow accumulation. While snowfall can occur in any month at the highest elevations of the Polish Tatras, the last recorded August event was in 2010. An even earlier occurrence was noted in July 2011.
