Germany Braces for Wet Weekend as First Autumn Gale Looms Monday

Forecasters flag strengthening winds, with the North Sea and northwest facing the highest risk for severe gusts plus coastal downpours.

Overview

  • The DWD expects almost all regions to see rain this weekend with isolated lightning, thunder or brief heavy downpours.
  • Saturday offers some sun in parts of the east and south before clouds and showers spread, while Sunday turns more overcast with highs generally between 15 and 22 degrees.
  • A first small autumn storm is forecast from Monday with strong to stormy gusts, and further changeable spells with possible renewed wind midweek are indicated by the DWD.
  • Northern and coastal areas face the toughest conditions, with widespread 70–90 km/h gusts and peaks near 100 km/h at the North Sea and in higher terrain, plus locally heavy coastal rainfall that could total 70–90 l/m² by Wednesday.
  • Regional outlooks highlight very windy, wet weather for NRW, while Munich’s forecast points to changeable conditions around 20 degrees for the Wiesn start with no stable late‑summer high in sight.
