=== Climate === According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], Wrocław has an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb''), bordering on a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') using the 0 °C (32 °F) isotherm. The position of Wrocław in the [[Silesian Lowlands]], which are themselves located just north of the [[Sudetes]] and to the southwest of the [[Trzebnickie Hills]], creates a favourable environment for accumulation of heat in the [[Oder]] river valley between Wrocław and [[Opole]].<ref name="Eko Org Klimat">{{cite web|last1=Dubicki|first1=Alfred|last2=Dubicka|first2=Maria|last3=Szymanowski|first3=Mariusz|date=2002|title=Klimat Wrocławia|url=http://eko.org.pl/wroclaw/srodowisko/klimat.html|access-date=2022-01-17|website=eko.org.pl|publisher=Fundacja EkoRozwoju|archive-date=17 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220117155753/http://eko.org.pl/wroclaw/srodowisko/klimat.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Wrocław is therefore the warmest [[List of cities in Poland|city in Poland]], among those tracked by the [[:pl:Instytut Meteorologii i Gospodarki Wodnej|Institute of Meteorology and Water Management]] (IMGW), with a mean annual temperature of {{convert|9.7|C|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Normals" /> The city experiences relatively mild and dry winters, but with the skies frequently overcast; summers are warm and generally sunny, however, that is the period when most precipitation occurs, which often falls during thunderstorms. The city also sometimes experiences [[Foehn wind|foehn]]-like conditions, particularly when the wind blows from the south or the south-west.<ref name="Eko Org Klimat"/> In addition to that, the temperatures in the city centre often tend to be higher than on the outskirts due to the [[urban heat island]] effect.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gawuć|first=Lech|date=2014|title=Dobowa zmienność

but normally does so in winter; the snow cover of at least {{convert|1|cm|in|abbr=on}} stays on the ground for an average of 27.5 days per year – one of the lowest in Poland.<ref name="Normals" /> The
