• A cold front moves east and southeast overnight into Sunday, with the DWD warning of showers and thunderstorms that can bring heavy rain, gusty winds and hail in places.
• Temperatures fall on Sunday, then drop markedly on Monday, when many areas are forecast to see daytime highs only near 10–16 °C with periods of rain, especially in the south and southeast.
• Bavaria’s Oktoberfest opened in unusual warmth, including about 30.7 °C in Munich on Saturday, while the Berlin Marathon on Sunday faces warm starts followed by increasing clouds and possible showers later.
