Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issue of downburst over Poland. Strong downdrafts are a great danger in aviation, but can also cause damage on the surface of the Earth. On the basis of synoptic maps, aerological and radar data the analysis of synoptic and thermodynamic conditions of the atmosphere in which the phenomenon occurred was conducted. The appearance of the cold front over Lower Silesia and the occurrence of V-notch radar signature over Wroclaw may have suggested the formation of a storm and the associated downburst.
