Overview

• DWD forecasts a gray, damp Monday with widespread cloud, periods of rain or drizzle, and highs around 13–15°C, cooler in higher elevations.
• Overnight into Tuesday stays cloudy with light rain especially in Westphalia, followed by partial clearing in the west and lows near 10–13°C, around 7°C in the hills.
• Tuesday brings more breaks in the Rhine region and mostly dry conditions there, while Westphalia and the Sauerland can still see light rain, with highs of 15–19°C.
• By Wednesday, conditions turn friendlier and largely dry with only isolated showers and highs of 16–19°C, as an Atlantic high begins to stabilize the pattern from the west.
• Looking ahead, meteorologist Dominik Jung flags Saturday as the most unsettled day with substantial rain and strong gusts possible, before a calmer Sunday and increased chances of sunnier 'golden October' weather in the second week.
