Overview
- Following Tuesday's split setup, the DWD expected brighter skies and 16 to 19 °C in the west while the east and south held onto cloud and showers.
- At the start of the week, Germany dealt with widespread rain, local downpours and a few thunderstorms, with Saxony seeing gusts up to about 55 km/h.
- A plume of Saharan dust over Europe could tint rain and leave a reddish film on cars and windows, though it does not change how much rain falls.
- From Wednesday, high pressure builds and brings drier skies and a rebound to roughly 17 to 21 °C in many areas, with clear nights still cold enough for ground frost.
- Forecasters noted higher uncertainty as two lows and two highs over Europe and a recent stratospheric shift can nudge systems and change the timing by region.
