2017 Germany autumn forecast: Stormy weather to arrive in October following dry start to season

Many locations across Germany will receive welcome spells of dry weather to start autumn following a wet summer that featured significant flooding.

Extended periods of dry weather are forecast during the month of September bringing more sunshine than many locations saw during the middle of summer.

Temperatures will soar above normal during much of September.

“A southwesterly flow will prevail throughout much of September pulling warm air from southern France into Germany,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys said.

The most pronounced warmth is expected across the south and west, including in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

“The change to drier weather will not last throughout the season as a several week stretch of wet weather returns in October,” Roys said.

The arrival of rainfall could impact leaf viewing or even shorten the season for colorful foliage by causing leaves to drop before reaching peak color in some areas.

There will be a higher-than-normal risk for rain to dampen Oktoberfest.

Following a wet October, near- to slightly below-normal rainfall is expected during November throughout much of Germany.

“However, there will be a heightened risk for impacts from a windstorm in northwest Germany during November,” Roys said.

A glancing blow from polar air will also result in some noticeably cold days throughout the month, especially in eastern Germany. The first threat for snowfall is expected in some lower elevations before month’s end.

“These cold shots and chances for snow will be welcomed across the ski resorts in the Alps,” Roys said.
