How to read the Berlin forecast
A good forecast is best read as three layers. The current panel tells you what it feels like on the street right now, which in Berlin's continental climate can diverge sharply from the seasonal average on any given day, since the city sits far enough from the moderating effect of the sea that both summer heat spikes and winter cold snaps can arrive and depart quickly. The hourly strip is for planning around Berlin's characteristic summer pattern of clear mornings building into afternoon thunderstorms, which are common enough from June through August that checking the next few hours before a long bike ride or a Spree-side picnic is worth the habit. The seven-day outlook is for shaping the week ahead and, as with any forecast, most trustworthy across the first three or four days.
