Overview
- After Friday’s west‑to‑east rain band and DWD short‑term Starkregen warnings for parts of Bavaria, Saturday — the Tag der Deutschen Einheit — is expected to be mostly sunny once morning fog and low stratus lift, with daytime highs up to about 24°C.
- Morning and night fog or persistent low clouds (Hochnebel) will reduce visibility in many regions and typically delay sunshine until late morning, creating local travel hazards for drivers and organizers of outdoor events.
- Sunday’s weather turns more changeable, with the Deutscher Wetterdienst forecasting showers and a small risk of isolated thunderstorms especially across southern and south‑western Germany.
- Multiple weather models now signal a developing strong low around 9–10 October that would bring a marked temperature drop of roughly 10°C and possible snow above higher elevations, but the timing and strength of that change remain uncertain and subject to update.
- September’s unusually warm, very sunny pattern in parts of southern Germany (DWD: Bavaria +2.5°C anomaly and among the sunniest Septembers since 1951) helps explain the lingering mild spell, and the DWD is the primary source for evolving warnings and forecasts that the public should monitor.
