Łódź sits in central Poland and receives around 570 mm (about 22 inches) of rain a year, similar to Warsaw, with a continental climate bringing a clear summer peak from convective thunderstorms. As an inland city without a major river running directly through its center, Łódź’s flooding risk is more localized, tied to how quickly its urban drainage can handle intense short-term downpours rather than a large river’s broader flood cycle. Summer storms here can still bring damaging hail and heavy rain capable of flooding streets within an hour. Because these storms build quickly and with limited warning, radar tracking is a practical tool during the warmer months. Poland’s IMGW operates the national radar network.
