In Poland, weather warnings use a three-level hazard scale. The higher the level, the greater the probability of dangerous phenomena occurring and their potential consequences.

Level 1 warning (yellow)

This indicates the possibility of dangerous weather phenomena that may cause disruptions and local damage.

Examples of effects:

disruptions to road traffic,
local flooding,
individual cases of damage to trees or power lines.

Level 2 warning (orange)

This indicates the occurrence or high probability of dangerous phenomena causing significant material losses and posing a threat to health and life.

For a warning issued for our region, this means that thunderstorms may be strong enough to cause:

branches and trees to break,
damage to roofs,
power outages,
local flooding after intense rainfall,
a threat to people outdoors.

Level 3 warning (red)

The highest warning level. It indicates the occurrence of extremely dangerous weather phenomena that may cause widespread damage and pose a serious threat to life.

In the case of the level 3 heat warning for Bolesławiec County:

temperatures may exceed 40°C,
the risk of heatstroke and dehydration increases,
older people, children and those with chronic illnesses are particularly at risk,
problems with infrastructure operations, such as energy or transport systems, are possible.

How should these warnings be interpreted together?

Currently, the following warnings are in effect for Bolesławiec County:

Level 3 for heat – very high health risk,
Level 2 for thunderstorms – high risk associated with severe atmospheric phenomena.

This is a particularly dangerous combination, because violent thunderstorms with very strong winds, torrential rain and hail may occur after a period of extreme heat. In practice, this means it is necessary to exercise particular caution both during the day (heat) and in the evening and at night (thunderstorms).
