Torrential Afternoon Rains in Warsaw

As I’ve mentioned, I’ve experienced one strong and recurring weather pattern in this summer’s travels: hot and humid mornings, then torrential downpours in the afternoons. In just one month, on two separate occasions, the Frankfurt airport was closed for thundershowers on days I was flying through — causing me to miss my connecting flights. He’s a little clip of Warsaw during its 4 p.m. daily shower.

  1. This video reminds me of a visit I made to another corner of Europe. In 1997, when I was in western Ireland, I decided to climb Croagh Patrick, the mountain overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Clew Bay. On the way up, it was a misty, cool Irish day, with occasional peeks of sun, for the two-hour climb. On the way down, the clouds darkened, and the skies opened like a fire hydrant. By the time I had gotten down the mountain, I was soaked through. Fortunately, there is a pub, Campbell’s, at the mountain base. I warmed myself there with a Guinness.
