And when it comes to climate, Poland has a temperate climate, with relatively cold winters and warm summers, mostly because of the west oceanic air currents, cold polar air coming from Russia and Scandinavia and, and slightly warmer, south sub-tropical air. This means that if you decide to retire here, you might bring some warmer clothes.
