Autumn weather in NRW: clouds, rain and late sun on Wednesday!
In North Rhine-Westphalia the weather today, November 9th, 2025, is quite autumnal. According to n-tv, Monday will be characterized by clouds and fog in some areas. But the mood of the people of Cologne is emerging, because there will be relaxations over the course of the day that give hope for a pleasant atmosphere. The maximum temperatures reach 11 to 14 degrees, with a weak to moderate wind blowing over the region.
On Tuesday it looks even cloudier at first. Light drizzle can be expected, especially in the morning. But here too there is light at the end of the tunnel: As the day progresses, the clouds clear up and temperatures climb to 6 to 14 degrees. The weather remains windy, but the wind is still light to moderate - ideal for getting some fresh air.
Wednesday brings sunshine
Wednesday redirects the weather to a positive note. After fog dissipates, the day will be largely sunny and dry. The temperatures then rise to a pleasant 11 to 16 degrees. A light to moderate wind ensures a pleasant climate, while strong gusts in the west can provide fresh wind.
But it's not just the weather that plays a role - DIY in the fall also comes into play. Ginger in particular, which is harvested in September and October, is a popular spice that is very popular in many kitchens. Ginger not only brings taste but also health benefits.
Tips for storing ginger
Proper storage is crucial to the freshness of the aromatic root vegetables. If you want to store ginger optimally, temperature and humidity are crucial. At around 15°C and 90% humidity, fresh ginger can be kept for over a year. Before storage, it should be washed thoroughly to remove dirt. For sliced ginger, it is advisable to let the moisture dry off or let it air dry for 10 minutes.
Room temperature storage is ideal in a cool, dark and well-ventilated area where ginger can be stored in damp newspaper or paper bags. This way it stays fresh for up to two weeks. If you want to be on the safe side, you can also store ginger in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator, where it will last for up to three weeks if it is well packaged to prevent mold.
Freezing is suitable for longer-term storage. Thinly sliced or grated, ginger will keep for up to six months. This means it is always at hand when you need it for a recipe.
The diverse preparation options range from ginger syrup to boiled ginger to delicious ginger confectionery, so nothing stands in the way of varied cooking.
As we can see, autumn not only offers interesting weather conditions, but also tasty ingredients for festive dishes. So stay happy and enjoy the little things that make the cold season so special!
