Overview

• Most regions face grey skies with areas of fog or light drizzle and daytime highs generally between 13 and 18 degrees, with cooler values in uplands.
• On Sunday the southwest may see sun after fog, while the north and east get some rain; Monday brings a few brighter spells in the northwest and center but widespread cloud persists.
• In North Rhine–Westphalia, the latest forecasts point to persistent overcast and occasional sprinkles with 13 to 17 degrees, although some outlets had flagged brief sunnier, warmer intervals in the west.
• The setup is driven by high pressure near the British Isles steering mild maritime air from the North Sea, which suppresses sunshine and favors low clouds and high fog.
• The DWD expects no fundamental shift in the near term and notes only a tentative signal for change late next week, whereas some commentators speculate about a wetter or colder turn later in October.
