IMGW has issued first-level warnings for dense fog and strong wind in parts of Poland. The immediate travel risk is not one nationwide weather event but two distinct time windows: overnight and early-morning fog across several regions, followed by strong gusts in the southwest on Sunday.
According to TVN24's report on the IMGW alerts, dense-fog warnings cover specified districts in the West Pomeranian, Pomeranian, Greater Poland, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Lodz and Masovian voivodeships. Visibility may locally fall below 200 metres. The warning is due to run from 9pm on Saturday until 8am on Sunday.
That makes the overnight and early-morning period particularly relevant for drivers. Fog can vary sharply over short distances, so a route should be judged by local alerts rather than by the weather at the point of departure.
A separate warning covers parts of Lower Silesia and Opole. IMGW forecasts southerly wind there on Sunday from 4am to 4pm, with average speeds of up to 45 km/h and gusts of up to 80 km/h. The listed areas include districts around the Karkonosze region, Jelenia Gora, Walbrzych and Klodzko, as well as parts of Opole province.
A first-level warning is not a report that a disaster has already occurred. It is, however, a specific warning of conditions that can make short journeys more difficult. The first concern is reduced visibility; later, in designated southwestern areas, it is the gusts. Treating those as separate local risks is more useful than describing the whole country as facing the same weather.
