Rain revolution in North Rhine-Westphalia: Farmers breathe, drought is over!

NRW, Deutschland - On May 28, 2025, there will be gratifying news for farmers and hobby gardeners in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). After weeks of weather without any noteworthy changes, the heavy rain around the last full May weekend ended the continued drought phase. The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts that the precipitation in NRW will last until the end of the May day. This development is relieved by those affected, since the last few weeks have been shaped by dry conditions.

The weather forecasts for the last week in May see showers and occasionally also thunderstorms. However, the temperatures will only be difficult to rise over the 20-degree mark. On Sunday, June 1st, temperatures of up to 25 degrees awaits the DWD, accompanied by some rains. In addition, DWD expert Dominik Jung announced that the weather situation will probably change in June.

forecast for June

The weather forecast for the coming month of June suggests that the temperatures are expected to be 1 to 2 degrees above the long -term climate agent. Jung explains that many regions, especially in the West, could suffer from too dry conditions in June, which indicates changes in the deviation in precipitation. These forecasts are based on an experimental model and are to be understood as trends, not as definitive predictions.

The context of these weather phenomena is strongly shaped by climate change, which in Germany already leads to noticeable changes. As the Environmental Office , climate change is shown in long-term climate-oriented processes, such as increasing average temperature and a changed climate variability, the frequent extreme like storm has.

climate impacts and need for action

The consequences of climate change are diverse and have a direct impact on everyday life. The Federal Government's current monitoring report, which appears every four years, states that around 30 of the analyzed aspects of very urgent need for action was found. This includes, for example, fatal heat loads, lack of water in the ground and more frequent low water levels. These changes have a significant impact on ecosystems as well as agriculture and forestry.

The climate -related challenges affect not only agricultural issues, but also the infrastructures. Economic damage caused by heavy rain, flood floods and floods of buildings are also examined. The gradual increase in temperature also leads to a change of species that could favor the spread of disease staples and pests.

Overall, it can be seen that Germany is faced with a variety of climatic challenges that require quick and coordinated action. There is an agreement that adaptation measures are urgently necessary to counteract the man -made climate crisis and minimize future damage. This topic is continued to be researched and illuminated by more than 50 federal authorities, scientific institutions and universities.
