Poznań, in western Poland, receives around 530 mm (about 21 inches) of rain a year, among the drier parts of the country, with a summer peak from convective thunderstorms typical of the North European Plain. The Warta river running through the city has occasionally seen elevated levels during periods of sustained heavy rain or spring snowmelt, though this is a comparatively modest risk next to the more dramatic flooding seen further south along the Oder and Vistula. Short, intense summer storms remain the more routine local hazard, capable of flash flooding on specific streets. Because these storms can develop quickly on an otherwise dry summer day, radar tracking is a practical everyday tool. IMGW operates the national weather radar network.
