High winds in the high Tatras on Sunday stalled the cable car to Kasprowy Wierch peak along with a number of ski lifts, and forced the ski area to close. Tatra National Park officials are warning hikers of extremely difficult or even dangerous conditions on the trails.
High and gusty winds can be expected overnight nationwide, warn meteorologists, and are to continue in the coming days, along with the predicted warmer temperatures.

The coastline of Gdynia suffered painfuly in recent storms, which swept away most of the local beach, bringing water up to 8 metres closer in places.
