Sponsorships return for weather brands: Names given to atmospheric conditions
In an exciting development, the collaboration between the Verein Berliner Wetterkarte and Freie Universität Berlin has opened registrations for the 2026 weather sponsorship. This unique event allows weather enthusiasts from across the globe to sponsor their very own pressure system and contribute to student weather observation at the Berlin-Dahlem station.
Since 1954, pressure systems have been named in the Berliner Wetterkarte, and in 2026, a new tradition will begin. Low-pressure systems will be given female names, while high-pressure systems will be given male names. This change aims to add a personal touch to weather reports, making them more memorable for the general public.
The naming of weather systems has garnered growing enthusiasm among weather enthusiasts worldwide, with over 4,400 sponsors from 17 European countries, as well as Brazil, Japan, the USA, and South Africa, already participating. The cost for sponsoring a low-pressure system is 290 euros, while high-pressure systems can be sponsored for 390 euros.
Registration for sponsorship can be done via the website www.wetterpate.de. The event will commence starting from Wednesday, and participants can look forward to their sponsored systems possibly appearing in weather reports, thanks to the memorable names that often result from extreme weather conditions or creative naming choices.
In 2025, the public participation in naming weather systems began. Weather enthusiasts sponsored systems such as High Caroline, which brought icy temperatures, High Zora, responsible for hot summer days, and Low Bernd, which brought persistent rain. The naming of weather systems has proven to be a successful initiative, with names such as these becoming familiar in weather reports.
The sponsorship organizes the naming of future weather patterns, with participants coming from various countries worldwide. This global collaboration not only supports student weather observation but also fosters a sense of community among weather enthusiasts. So, if you're a weather enthusiast eager to make a difference, head over to www.wetterpate.de and sponsor your very own pressure system today!
