Weather Forecast for North Rhine-Westphalia: Wet and Stormy Weekend Ahead
Residents of North Rhine-Westphalia are in for a change in the weather this weekend, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). After a relatively warm and mostly dry start to the week, the forecast for the weekend is generally wet and stormy.
On Friday, temperatures are expected to range between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius, with higher elevations seeing temperatures between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. However, the DWD predicts an uncomfortable day with heavy rain, making it a less than ideal day for outdoor activities.
Saturday is shaping up to be even stormier, with scattered showers and heavy thunderstorms expected in North Rhine-Westphalia. Temperatures on Saturday will range between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius, making it a cooler day compared to the current temperatures. The weather on Friday and Saturday is predicted to be cooler at higher elevations as well.
The DWD has not predicted a significant improvement in the weather for the weekend, and the weather forecast includes locally heavy rain and thunderstorms. While no severe weather is forecasted, occasional thunderstorms or rain might still occur sporadically, as is common in the region’s summer climate.
In contrast, the long-term weather forecasts for North Rhine-Westphalia indicate relatively warm and mostly dry conditions with some breeze. Historical data for July in Düsseldorf and Aachen, both in North Rhine-Westphalia, show generally warm and breezy weather with dry conditions prevailing in the region.
Recent weather reports from Düsseldorf International Airport on July 31, 2025, showed cool temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius, mostly clear skies, and a gentle breeze of approximately 9 mph, suggesting stable weather currently in the area. While earlier in July, the area experienced warm weather typical of summer, including a European heat wave reported earlier in the month, the current trend is towards more moderate temperatures.
In summary, North Rhine-Westphalia can expect continued warm, generally dry weather with occasional breezes in the next several days, without immediate indications of extreme heat or precipitation spikes based on the most recent data and historical patterns for late July. However, residents should be prepared for the possibility of scattered showers and heavy thunderstorms this weekend.
