Overview

• Recent forecasts point to above-average temperatures through September and into October, with nights staying unusually mild even in November.
• Meteorological guidance signals a developing rainfall deficit from September that could intensify into November, stressing soils, rivers and groundwater.
• Dominik Jung projects a generally normal-to-warm season with a potentially golden October before cooler November conditions, including possible first snow in higher terrain.
• Karsten Brandt expects the meteorological autumn to be too dry, underscoring concerns that brief showers will not offset the broader moisture shortfall.
• Traditional sources such as the Hundertjähriger Kalender describe 2025 as a warm ‘Venusjahr’ with specific sunny periods, a wetter narrative that conflicts with the drier model-based outlook.
