Overview

  • After a blustery Saturday, the DWD warned of showers, thunderstorms and gusts up to 65–75 km/h in parts of the northeast including Berlin and Brandenburg, with conditions easing by evening.
  • Clear nights under high pressure brought ground frost in valleys of the Erzgebirge, and forecasters still expect chilly lows in exposed basins before a warm-up.
  • High Mareike is set to stabilize the weather briefly from Sunday into midweek, lifting daytime highs widely into the mid‑20s and locally to about 30–31°C.
  • Guidance indicates a flip back to cooler, unsettled conditions by late week as the Island low tied to ex‑Erin reasserts influence, bringing showers, thunderstorms and a noticeable temperature drop.
  • Earlier in the week some southern areas logged about 180 l/m² of rain in roughly 17 hours, with limited flood impacts reported where soils absorbed the deluge.
