Powerful storms have swept across southern Poland, leaving tens of thousands without electricity and causing widespread damage to homes and infrastructure.
Around 30,000 people in Poland were left without electricity on Friday after strong winds toppled trees and brought down power lines. The severe weather followed a series of intense storms in the country’s southern regions, where heavy rainfall, hail, and strong winds damaged both residential and farm buildings.
The Polish State Fire Service reported over 2,000 interventions nationwide, with more than 200 in the Świętokrzyskie region alone. The worst-affected areas included Lesser Poland, Silesia, and Lublin Voivodeships. Local authorities reported flooded basements, blocked roads, and significant damage to public and private properties.
Marek Jamborski, mayor of Kocmyrzów-Luborzyca, described the damage as extensive, citing destruction to buildings, roads, and severe flooding. A second-degree heat warning was also in effect for the Subcarpathian region. Scientists continue to warn that climate change could increase flood risks for millions living in vulnerable areas.
