Autumn forecast 2024: Warm days and snow - what awaits us in BW?

Autumn in Baden-Württemberg is just around the corner, and with it there is a time full of surprises in the weather. In the middle of warm temperatures and bright sunshine, we realize that the season can also bring cool nights and possibly the first snow. Meteorologist Alexander König believes that the upcoming month of September will offer us a lot of the warm late summer.

Currently, people in the region experience temperatures over 30 degrees and enjoy long, sunny days. This hardly gives rise to the assumption that the meteorological autumn of the autumn is imminent. Despite these summer conditions, the weather models have adapted their forecasts, which indicates further warming in the southwest. König sums up the situation: "The nights are now going longer and when all the conditions come together, then there can also be the first snow in autumn."

autumn forecasts and possible weather changes

The autumn time is known for its changeable nature. In favorable conditions, late summer and winter can feel almost simultaneously. However, an early onset of winter is not to be expected in the current forecasts. According to the Climate Forecast System of the American Weather Service GFS, the predictions for September and October are 0.5 to 1 degrees above the temperature average. In November, too, the weather could be more warmer than cold with a deviation of 1 to 2 degrees.

That does not mean that autumn in the region could not also bring wet days with it. In fact, while the forecasts indicate a "golden autumn", meteorologists warn that the warm seas around Baden-Württemberg evaporate a lot of water, which could potentially lead to intensive rains. "In short periods of time, a lot of precipitation can still come down," explains König and emphasizes the unpredictability of the weather during this transition period.

autumn days can change quickly, and it is quite possible that a few weeks of cooler, drier conditions will bring. While weather -dependent activities can continue to be enjoyed, the question of the weather remains uncertain. A clear prediction is not yet possible due to the complexity of the weather maps and models.

Curiosity is increasing, especially among those who appreciate the change of seasons and who want to experience the beauty of autumn in Baden-Württemberg. Whether golden hours of sunshine or gentle snowflakes, autumn will surely provide some impressive moments in nature.
