Rewriting Weather Forecast for Pentecost Weekend in Germany

Kaleidoscope of Weather Across Germany This Pentecost

Brace yourself for a mix of showers, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and even an occasional squall. The upcoming Pentecost weekend promises a dynamic meteorological performance, albeit not consistently warm and pleasurable. forecasters from the German Weather Service (DWD) predict that the southwest will witness a recurring dance of rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds. Peak sunny moments will be sparse and limited. "Get ready for a chaotic and unpredictable weather pattern everywhere," as per a DWD meteorologist.

Changeable Nationwide

Expect a rollercoaster of temperatures on Saturday, replete with shifting cloud cover, periodic rain, and a high of 22 to 23 degrees. However, Sunday will see a drastic temperature drop to a maximum of 18 to 19 degrees, accompanied by stronger thunderstorms and continued windy conditions until Pentecost Monday. Wind gusts heading towards the Black Forest and Feldberg are even a possibility.

Saturday night into Monday will bring more showers in Upper Swabia, but the rain will soon subside across the country. By the end of Pentecost Monday, a high-pressure area will take command, gradually drying out conditions.

Temperature Uptick Post Pentecost

"How do you know the weekend is over? When the weather starts getting better!" quipped the DWD expert with a twinkle in his eye. While it will indeed improve by Monday, a fully functioning high-pressure area will only fully assert itself from Tuesday. In the Southern Rhine Valley, temperatures of around 26 degrees are projected on Tuesday, climbing up to a high of 29 degrees on Wednesday.
