Scarce rainfall graced Father's Day celebrations, keeping temperatures comfortably around the 20-degree mark.
In Baden-Württemberg, Ascension Day was marked by acts of kindness towards fathers, as reported by Peter. On this day, the German Weather Service (DWD) noted pleasant and dry weather in the southwest with temperatures hovering around 20 degrees. Excursionists, particularly those in the western region, experienced favorable conditions. The DWD anticipated minimal rainfall or light showers.
Numerous events took place across the state on Father's Day, including a steam locomotive ride on the Swabian Alb. Some wagons were converted into makeshift bars to cater to thirsty passengers.
Last Father's Day witnessed a significant uptick in alcohol-related incidents. The increased alcohol consumption on Father's Day usually leads to an increase in such incidents. Despite the lack of specific statistics for Baden-Württemberg, national trends suggest that there were almost three times as many alcohol-related injuries on Father's Day compared to an average day.
Looking forward, temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees this Friday. The DWD predicts sunshine and temperatures ranging from 28 to 29 degrees across the state. However, there's a potential for thunderstorms in the north and northeast of Baden-Württemberg, as well as in the mountains, during the afternoon and evening. The weather is expected to deteriorate and cool down by Monday, with possible heavy rain, according to the DWD.
Other weather-forecasting agencies might predict different conditions compared to DWD, given the potential for thunderstorms in the north and northeast of Baden-Württemberg. Fathers planning outdoor activities should check other weather forecasts for more accurate updates.
