It will be summery and warm again. Indian summer is coming, say meteorologists.

Summer celebrates in Germany is expecting a small comeback in the coming days. The German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach is expecting warm Indian summer weather with lots of sun. There could be only isolated rain showers. Temperatures will rise to up to 26 degrees during the day. “The fact that summer is actually over is noticeable, however, in the long nights, when it can get quite cold,” said meteorologist Adrian Leyser. Fog patches are also possible in some areas. Maximum temperatures will reach 21 to 26 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, and it will be a little cooler south of the Danube.

Indian summer due to early autumn high pressure

Meteorologists understand Indian summer to be an early autumn high pressure system that often forms between mid-September and early October. As it is warm and dry during the day but cool at night, dewdrops often hang on spider webs in the morning and make them shimmer in the sunlight. It is unclear where the name comes from. One theory is that it refers to the ancient goddesses of fate – just as spiders weave their webs, they weave the threads of people’s lives. “From a meteorological point of view, the term Indian summer appears neither misogynistic nor disrespectful,” explains the DWD.

The calmer weather, caused by the high pressure zone Serkan, is expected to last until the end of the week. At the weekend, Germany could again come under the influence of a low pressure area. The DWD: “However, new persistent rain or a drop in temperature are not in sight for the time being.”
