Historic Central European Heatwave Grips Krakow As Temperatures Hit 38C

KRAKOW, POLAND - JUNE 29: Two women lie on a blanket in the grass to sunbathe and relax in a city park as afternoon temperatures peak in Krakow, Poland, on June 29, 2026. This local snapshot captures conditions amid an unprecedented Central European heatwave, which just yesterday shattered Poland's 105-year-old national record with a blistering 40.5?C (104.9?F) in Slubice, as active orange alerts remain in place ahead of predicted severe regional storms set to collide with the lingering tropical air mass.
