How was October in Germany in 2022?
An extremely warm October, 2022, with record potential is how the German Weather Service describes the month from a weather and climate perspective.
October 2022 was extremely warm in Germany. It is still open, as it is a matter of tenths of a degree, whether the previous record from 2001 with a mean temperature of 12.5 ° Celsius will be set or exceeded. Uwe Kirsche, press spokesman for the German Meteorological Service (DWD): ‘We have experienced an October with temperatures more in line with May, which is typical in this country. Again, a glimpse into our climate future.’
From the middle of the month, October sent summery warmth once again, especially to the south of the country. Only sporadic low pressure systems moved in, which also brought heavy precipitation and thunderstorms. Characteristic to the season, the weather chronology also included dense morning fog, but only rarely frosty early temperatures. This is reported by the DWD after initial evaluations of the results of its approximately 2,000 measuring stations.”
The German DWD weather service is still working with two reference periods, although one is no longer valid. However, October was warmer than the respective 30-year average in both comparisons. The difference is 0.4 degrees Celsius, depending on which period is used.
