In North Rhine-Westphalia, the relentless rain shows no signs of letting up, even momentarily. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), certain districts will continue to endure an uninterrupted drizzle until 6 p.m. on Monday, with others experiencing it until around 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
In the Bergisches Land and Siegerland regions, precipitation levels of 15 to 25 liters per square meter are expected until Tuesday morning. Further south, in the Sauerland to the Weserbergland, anticipate 10 to 20 liters per square meter. The cause behind this wet spell? A powerful westerly current, delivering humid and extremely mild sea air to the area. The DWD estimates temperatures rising to 10 to 13 degrees Celsius on Monday, skyrocketing to 8 to 11 degrees Celsius by Christmas Day, and surging once more to 8 to 10 degrees on Wednesday.
However, the DWD has something else in store for us. Rain showers are forecasted once more for Wednesday morning, though they should start to subside towards evening. Despite these gloomy conditions, the DWD predicts a moderate temperature fluctuation, with warmer daytime temperatures and cooler nighttime lows between 0°C to 3°C (32°F to 37°F).
The weather forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday looks as follows:
Tuesday (February 19, 2025) - Temperature: Anticipate temperatures ranging from 6°C to 10°C (43°F to 50°F) with cloudy conditions. - Rainfall: Though no specific rainfall is mentioned, the region is expected to receive rain throughout the next few days.
Wednesday (February 20, 2025) - Temperature: The temperatures are expected to reach 10°C to 12°C (50°F to 54°F) with cloudy conditions. - Rainfall: Rain showers have been forecasted for the Wintersport Arena Sauerland, but it's unclear if this applies to North Rhine-Westphalia as a whole.
Over the next 30 days, precipitation levels in North Rhine-Westphalia will reach 12 days, with temperatures fluctuating between 10°C to 16°C (50°F to 61°F) during the day and 0°C to 3°C (32°F to 37°F) at night.
