Time series of the total precipitation in Germany since 1881

Time series of the precipitation anomaly for the years in Germany since 1881

The time series of precipitation in Germany shows the monthly sums of precipitation in Germany . The measured values ​​cover the period from 1881 to the present day. The precipitation is summarized in monthly , seasonal and annual mean values ​​in [mm].

Average annual rainfall over different time periods and areas

Average annual rainfall in Germany over different time periods

The average values ​​of the data are calculated from the area mean values ​​which the German Weather Service (DWD) makes available. The DWD derives these area mean values ​​from the station measurements. To do this, the station data are first interpolated onto a comprehensive grid with a resolution of 1 km * 1 km.

The CLINO periods of the WMO (1901-1930, 1931-1960, 1961-1990 and 1991-2020), as well as the mean values ​​of the entire series (1881-2019) and the 3 centuries (1881-1900, 1901-2000, 2001-2020)

The average values ​​determined are also related to the normal period 1961-1990 established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) :

• The fields marked in green are each above the long-term average from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in brown are each below the long-term mean value from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in light yellow are exactly in the mean from 1961-1990
• * The italic monthly average totals (in mm) are specifically for the current CLINO period 1991-2020, as this is only complete with the end of the year 2020th Therefore "italic months" indicate the period 1991-2019.
• ** Since the German Weather Service (DWD) has not yet carried out a comprehensive measurement for December, the winter of 1880/1881 cannot yet be included. Therefore, the first winter in the period 1881-1910 is the winter of 1881/1882.

Time series of total precipitation in tabular form for Germany since 1881

This is followed by the measured values ​​in sections of ten years each (decades) with the associated 10-year mean. The data come from the German Weather Service.

• The fields marked in green are each above the long-term average from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in brown are each below the long-term mean value from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in light yellow are exactly in the mean from 1961-1990
• The fields marked in dark brown represent the minimum, the row.
• The fields marked in dark green represent the maximum of the series.
• Particularly dry / wet months / seasons / years and other special weather events are highlighted in more detail in small texts.
• The current total precipitation for the current month is displayed on 10./20. and 30th day of the month in italics and with a date. For example, May 10th is then given with the corresponding value: 15.6 (10th)

2011 to 2020

• November 2011: Since measurements began in 1881 there has not been such a dry November and also no drier month at all. The previous low for one month in April 1893 of 3.7 l / m² was set. Not a single drop fell at some stations this November. The persistent drought caused the levels of many rivers to drop to record lows, and in the Bavarian Alps , snow remained a scarce commodity with an increased risk of forest fires.
• Spring 2011: Spring 2011 was not only the second-sunniest and third-warmest spring since records began, with a meager 89.5 liters per square meter (l / m²), Germany also experienced the second-driest spring since measurements began 130 years ago. The water levels of most rivers were lower than they had been for about 100 years at this time of year.
• December 2011: An unusually dry November was followed by a very wet December. With 124.1 l / m², about 175% of the normal "December target" fell. The reason for the high amount of precipitation was, for example, the low pressure wave "Christoph". On the 4th, this brought intense rainfalls in the middle and south of Germany and ended the drought of the previous month. The tail of the low "Louis" is also striking. This turned the areas in the west and south into winter landscapes on the 20th. Overall, the wettest German location in December was Freudenstadt in the Black Forest with 384 l / m

• Year 2018: The year 2018 reached around 586 liters per square meter ( l / m² ) only 75 percent of its climate value of 789 l / m² . This makes it one of the lowest precipitation levels since regular measurements began in 1881. From February to November, it remained too dry for ten months in a row.

• February 2020: February reached around 125 liters per square meter (l / m²), around 250 percent of its target of 49 l / m². This makes February 2020 the second wettest February month since 1881, after February 1946 with 127 l / m². Numerous low pressure areas, which moved with their foothills over Germany, were responsible for the heavy precipitation. Their clouds often got stuck on the western edge of the mountains and caused prolonged rainfall there.

2001 to 2010

• September 2001: September 2001 was the wettest "September month" since measurements began in 1881. Around 300% of the usual precipitation target of 61.1 l / m² (1961-1990) was measured at many measuring stations. Especially in northern Germany, September was extremely wet. Lower Saxony and Bremen recorded the most precipitation with an average of 171 mm.

• Year 2002: Overall, this year is the wettest year since the weather was recorded in Germany in 1881. The first 12 days of August in particular stand out, with various heavy rain events throughout Central Europe. February, July, October and November were also each one of the wettest months.

• May 2007: In 2007, the 2nd driest April since 1881 was followed by the wettest May since 1881. It fell almost twice the long-term average of 71 l / m².
• Summer 2003: Summer 2003 is not only the warmest summer in Germany since 1881, it is also the 5th driest summer (with an average of 153.0 l / m²). Persistent high-pressure weather conditions led to significantly above-average sunshine duration and a considerable lack of precipitation. Since spring was also quite low in precipitation (averaged 130.0 l / m²) and the great heat led to increased evaporation, there was sometimes considerable damage to agriculture.

• August 2010: August 2010 goes down in Germany's annals as the rainiest August. Widespread, three to five times the amount of rain fell than in an average August month. The trigger for this excess of moisture was a so-called cyclonally shaped large-scale weather situation over Central Europe, i. H. mainly low pressure areas with their bad weather fronts determine the weather.

1991 to 2000

• December 1993: December 1993 is the wettest December since 1991. A flood of the century, especially on the Moselle and Rhine, required evacuations in many cities.
• Autumn 1998: Autumn 1998 started already in September windy and wet. October 1998 brought some extreme rain and storms. The storm "Winnie" from 24/25. October 1998 brought a lot of rain again. Since the soil was already saturated from the rain around mid-October, they could hardly absorb the rain, which led to flooding.

1981 to 1990

• July 1984 (local): On July 12, 1984, a strong super cell with huge hail developed near Munich. The hail chunks were up to 9 cm (in diameter). Until the summer of 2013 it was the most expensive hail storm from an insurance perspective.

1971 to 1980

• January 1976: On 3/4. January 1976 pulled a hurricane low from the Atlantic to the Baltic Sea. This ensured wind speeds of up to 150 km / h in Western and Central Europe. A strong storm surge occurred on the North Sea coast, which even exceeded the record highs of the storm surge from 1962.

• Winter 1978/1979 (in Northern Germany): At the turn of the year 1978/79 there was heavy snowfall due to a prominent air mass limit. Several villages in northern Germany were cut off from the outside world. In February 1979 the extreme weather situation was repeated.

1961 to 1970

• Winter 1961/1962: This winter was characterized by many mild western locations, which caused many storms. In mid-February, two hurricanes moved from Iceland towards the Baltic States. The second of these hurricanes caused the strongest storm surge on the North Sea coast since 1825. There were new storm surge records, many dykes collapsed and some cities flooded.

Time series of the number of days with precipitation ≥10mm in tabular form since 1951

The "time series of the number of days with precipitation ≥10mm in tabular form" indicates the Germany-wide and monthly averaged number of days with total precipitation ≥ ("greater than or equal") 10 mm. This makes it easy to observe whether heavy precipitation has increased or decreased in frequency over time. The German Weather Service does not begin this evaluation until 1951, since only from this point in time daily values ​​from a sufficient number of stations are digitally available for calculating the area mean values.

• The values ​​used here come from "mt-Wetter" and were calculated there from the DWD station data using a proprietary method. They are therefore based on a significantly reduced number of stations for the beginning of the period.

The averaged values ​​(monthly, seasonal and yearly) are also related to the mean value from 1961-1990:

• The fields marked in light blue are each above the long-term mean value from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in light brown are each below the long-term mean value from 1961-1990.
• The fields marked in white are exactly in the mean from 1961-1990
• The dark brown marked fields represent the minimum of the series. (Minimum = lowest monthly mean of the number of days)
• The fields marked in dark blue represent the maximum of the series (maximum = highest monthly mean of the number of days)

Extreme precipitation events in Europe over the past 1000 years

This is followed by a table with dates and observations of extreme weather events from the past 1000 years up to the year 1881. The date (if exactly known) is given, as well as the type and description of the event.

date	Type of event	Description of the precipitation event
Summer 1043	Heavy precipitation	In 1043 there was a summer with persistent rain and, as a result, crop failures.
Winter / spring 1125	-	Very snowy winter followed by a stormy spring.
5.10. 1129	hail	Heavy thunderstorms and hail hit Germany.
Fall 1143	Heavy precipitation	An autumn with uninterrupted rains
16.02. 1164	Storm surge	In February 1164 a huge storm surge hit the coasts. It is estimated that there were more than 100,000 deaths
3.11. 1170	Storm surge	In 1170 there was an extreme North Sea storm surge
Summer 1198	Drought / drought	Extreme drought and heat across Europe. The drought reportedly lasted 15 weeks.
Spring 1268	Drought / drought	Very dry and very warm spring!
Summer 1 290	hail	The summer of 1290 brought extreme hail storms in Europe, and many people and animals are said to have been killed by the hail.
1304	Drought / drought	The whole year it stayed dry and warm, so that the Rhine could be crossed on foot. There were also extremely low water levels on many other large rivers.
Summer 1335	Heavy precipitation	It was a very cold and rainy summer
Summer 1342	Flood "Magdalenen flood"	The Magdalenen flood in July 1342 is one of the worst European flood disasters of the last 2000 years, there were severe floods in almost all of Europe. However, geologists and meteorologists still disagree about how much meltwater from the winter of 1341/1342 already led to increased water levels in Central Europe in the spring of 1342, where from the 21/22. July 1342 extreme downpours within 2 days brought partly as much rain as usual in the whole year. The weather situation for this heavy rain storm could have triggered a VB situation in eastern and central Central Europe and a thunderstorm low over Western Europe.
Spring 1353	-	In southern Germany there is a storm in April and snowfall at the end of May.
1362 (exact date unknown)	Storm surge "2nd Marcellus Flood"	Thousands of people drowned in the North Sea due to a hurricane that moved across the North Sea from the west. Some report that the hurricane is said to have destroyed entire islands in one night.
05/17 1425	hail	Severe hailstorms across Germany.
04/10 1446	Storm surge	A strong snowstorm with severe thunderstorms triggers one of the worst North Sea storm surges ever.
Summer 1453	-	In 1453 it was a very cold and rainy summer. There is even said to have been frost in June and snow in July.
June 1529	Heavy precipitation	Severe hailstorms are raging in southern Germany. There is record rainfall and extreme cold.
Summer 1540	Drought / drought	A millennium summer left all rivers in Europe to dry up, and there were also many forest fires. It was also extremely hot and there was no rain for many months. Only in December 1540 it should have rained again!
January 1552	Heavy precipitation	Heavy storms and heavy rain hit all of Central Europe. January was marked by extreme rainfall.
Winter 1565/66	Snowfall	Probably the snowiest winter in the Alps ever. Even in the low mountain ranges 3 m of snow are measured.
March 1689	Heavy precipitation	In March there was a severe flood in all of Central Europe, triggered by heavy rainfall.
1693 (exact date unknown)	hail	In the area around Cologne there was an unprecedented storm with hail chunks of up to 4 kilograms! Lightning and thunder also made the ground tremble. Every second house was destroyed by the storm.
December 1703	Storm	An unusual series of storms lasted until early December 1703 in Europe. On December 8th, 1703, the worst hurricane in the series of storms passed through Western / Central Europe and caused enormous devastation with an estimated gust of over 250 km / h. The hurricane of December 8th, 1703 surpasses all known hurricanes of the 20th century. The storms of 1703 claimed around 8,000 to 15,000 deaths!
1737 (exact date unknown)	-	In Europe there are again violent storms.
1788 (exact date unknown)	hail	Two huge thunderstorm clusters (MCS / MCC) moved from Spain and Portugal across the Alpine region to the Baltic Sea. There was immense devastation from huge hail, all crops were destroyed and there were major floods. The storm of 1788 is considered to be the largest and most famous European hail disaster of all time!
