Weather - First rain, then sun at the start of the summer holidays in NRW
At the start of summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia, a rainy weekend is forecasted. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), rain will begin in the western regions on Friday afternoon and spread to Munsterland and Ostwestfalen by evening. However, the south is expected to remain predominantly dry. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 17 to 22 degrees.
The forecast for Saturday is even less pleasant: Showers and individual thunderstorms with heavy rain, strong winds, and hail are expected to spread eastwards in the afternoon, but will move away to the east by evening. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 21 to 25 degrees.
The sun comes out again starting Sunday: The weekend is predicted to have a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, with mostly dry conditions, according to the forecast. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 19 to 22 degrees.
On Monday, people in the northwest should prepare for individual showers. Otherwise, it will be predominantly dry and sunny to cloudy with temperatures reaching a maximum of 20 to 24 degrees.
Despite the rainy forecast for the weekend in Munsterland and East Westphalia, many families might still choose to spend their summer vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of heavy rain and strong winds on Saturday, so outdoor activities might need to be postponed or moved indoors. Fortunately, Sunday is expected to have a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, providing a chance for some outdoor fun. For those planning a weekend trip to Münsterland, keep an eye on the weather forecast from DWD to ensure a pleasant journey.
