The average monthly temperature in July is 19°C (66°F), but in summer the temperature sometimes rises above 30°C (86°F). In the mountains, snow is still present in April and there have been years when you could still find it in May! The annual rainfall is 500–700 mm, of which snow constitutes only 5–20%. In Warsaw, the capital of Poland, temperatures range from between 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) during the summer months and 0 to -5°C (32 to 23°F) in winter.
