A spell of warm weather over much of the country added an extra dash to the so-called zlota jesien (golden autumn).

Meteorologists have noted uncommonly warm weather for October this year, with temperatures reaching as much as 26 °C in recent days in southern Poland.

Forecasts for the coming week indicate that more good weather is due, with temperatures in much of the country predicted to be as high as 24 °C.

A gradual drop is due after 21 October, when temperatures are not expected to rise over 18 °C.

However, a cold snap has been forecast for the end of the month, with between 4 °C and 9 °C likely on 28 October. (nh)
