Forecast

Zakopane's weather is affected by its location in the Tatra Mountains, which creates unique air pressure patterns. The mountains block and redirect winds, making air pressure change frequently.

The town's valley location traps cold air, making winters colder and summers cooler than surrounding areas. This geography also creates a rain shadow effect, leading to less rainfall.

In winter, high pressure brings cold, dry air from the east, making it very cold and snowy. In summer, low pressure brings warm, humid air from the west, making it mild and rainy.

Zakopane has a humid continental climate, characterized by large temperature differences between winter and summer. This climate type leads to significant air pressure changes throughout the year.
