All months ranked — Good weather

June

Best match

Peak cultural month — Warsaw Summer Jazz Festival, 22°C and long evenings on the Vistula beaches.

#1 for good weather

May

Best match

Excellent month — 19°C, Chopin concerts in Lazienki Park, and the city fully alive before summer peak.

#2 for good weather

July

Best match

Warmest and busiest month — peak crowds in Old Town, but Warsaw's urban beaches and jazz scene are at their best.

#3 for good weather

September

Best match

Golden autumn — 18°C, falling leaves in Lazienki Park, lower crowds and Warsaw at its most atmospheric.

#4 for good weather

August

Best match

Warsaw Rising Commemoration on 1 August adds profound atmosphere — still warm, busy and culturally intense.

#5 for good weather

April

Strong option

Pleasant spring walking — 14°C, blossom in Lazienki Park and the Old Town coming alive without summer crowds.

#6 for good weather

October

Strong option

Quiet and good value — autumn colour in the parks, lower prices and the Old Town largely free of summer crowds.

#7 for good weather

March

Strong option

Warsaw wakes up — 8°C days, Easter markets in Old Town and the first outdoor terraces of the year.

#8 for good weather

December

Worth considering

Christmas markets in the Old Town add real festive magic — cold and dark, but Warsaw in December has genuine atmosphere.

#9 for good weather

November

Worth considering

Grey, cold and quiet — Warsaw's museums and cafés are excellent value but the city draws firmly indoors.

#10 for good weather

January

Avoid

Biting cold with -4°C nights — Old Town is quiet and cheap, but dark days and snow make this tough going.

#11 for good weather

February

Avoid

The quietest month in Warsaw — still cold and grey, but prices are at their yearly floor.

#12 for good weather
