Climate
Warsaw has four seasons, although, it may, at times, seem like it has two seasons – winter and summer. One day, you may experience sub-freezing temperatures and the next day you could experience temperatures in the 60's The summers are cool to warm with temperatures varying from the low-50's to mid-70's Temperatures in the fall can vary wildly.

By plane

For many years the airport used to be called just Okecie, but this reportedly caused confusion and it was renamed.  There are the airports which are located in the area of Okecie in Włochy, some 10 km south of the center point of the city. There are three terminals: Terminal 1 is the "default" terminal; Terminal 2 is the newly-built terminal which handles all arrivals and some departures jointly with Terminal 1; the Etiuda Terminal is used by budget airlines and for charters. Although they are only some 500m apart, it's best to know from which terminal you will be departing.

By bus

A bus ride on route 175 to and from Warszawa Centralia and to and from the Frederic Chopin Airport will, on average, take 30 minutes, although in rush-hour traffic the time can be up to 45 minutes. Traffic can be at a complete standstill and traveling a few meters may take upwards of 20 Clubs.

 Concerts

Warsaw's music scene can sometimes be disappointing, but it's a matter of knowing where to look because Warsaw has an abundance of musical delights, they just need to be fettered out.
