What's The Weather Like In Krakow In October

The number of tourists drops during this month, so you can more easily enjoy the historic sites without the crowds.

The lows drop to a chilly 5°C (about 41°F) but if you're bundled up properly it's not so cold you can't enjoy your time outside exploring. The average high reaches up to 13°C (around 55°F), so during the day, especially with the sun shining, it makes for a pleasant time. Your suitcase should contain a warm coat or parka, and you might even want a winter hat, scarf and gloves, especially when visiting later in the month when the temperatures drop quickly.

Sunshine Hours

With the coming of winter, the number of hours of sunshine each day drops, averaging 3.3 hours a day during the month. It's best to plan ahead and try to visit the outdoor sites during the light of day and save the indoor activities for when it's dark.
