As spring unfolds in Berlin and Brandenburg, residents are experiencing a mix of mild weather and the challenges of allergy season. The forecast for the coming days indicates a blend of sunshine and clouds, with temperatures rising to around 16 degrees Celsius. However, those suffering from pollen allergies may find the season particularly challenging.
On Thursday, April 10, 2025, the weather is expected to start off cloudy but will gradually clear, allowing the sun to shine through later in the day. The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts temperatures will reach a pleasant 16 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a light to moderate west wind with occasional gusts. As evening approaches, temperatures will drop to around 4 degrees, remaining dry throughout the night.
Looking ahead to Friday, April 11, the forecast suggests a shift as clouds gather again, potentially bringing some rain in certain areas. The high temperature for the day is expected to be around 17 degrees, with gusty winds making their presence felt. The DWD has noted that while the day will start dry, localized rainfall may occur as the day progresses.
As the weekend approaches, Saturday, April 12, is predicted to be cloudy, with temperatures hovering around 15 degrees. The night will remain dry, but temperatures will dip to about 7 degrees. Sunday, April 13, will see a similar trend, with cloudy skies persisting and temperatures slightly lower.
However, allergy sufferers should prepare for a tough few days ahead. The pollen season is currently at its peak, with birch, ash, hazel, and alder pollens prevalent in the air. According to the pollen flight forecast from wetter.net, allergy sufferers can expect a significant increase in pollen levels on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, ryegrass pollen will dominate, while Saturday will bring a surge of birch pollen, and by Sunday, both birch and elm will contribute to the discomfort of many.
For those with allergies, the situation is not expected to improve immediately. Both Wednesday, April 9, and Thursday, April 10, will see high levels of birch and other tree pollens in the air, making it difficult for individuals to enjoy the pleasant weather. As the pollen season progresses, it is hoped that other types of pollen will take over, offering some relief to those currently suffering.
In the context of historical weather patterns, the average temperature for April 9 over the past 20 years has been around 14 degrees Celsius, with no recorded precipitation on this day five years ago. Over the last two decades, the typical rainfall for April 9 has been about 1 mm, indicating that the weather is generally dry during this time of year.
As residents of Berlin and Brandenburg navigate the spring weather, they are reminded to stay informed about the changing conditions. The local news portal, Digitaldaily.de, offers updates on weather and other relevant news, including upcoming events and community announcements.
In political news, the SPD member vote on the coalition agreement is set to begin on April 15, 2025. This development has garnered attention as various labor organizations, including the DGB, have expressed support for the agreement, while others, such as Verdi, have voiced criticism.
Additionally, former President Donald Trump has made headlines by increasing tariffs against China, while also announcing a tariff pause for dozens of other countries. This move has sparked discussions about its potential impact on international trade relations.
As the weather warms and the pollen count rises, residents in Berlin and Brandenburg are encouraged to take precautions, especially those who are sensitive to allergens. With the sun making more frequent appearances, many will be eager to enjoy the outdoors, but not without considering the health implications of the pollen season.
In summary, while the weather in Berlin and Brandenburg is set to be mild and spring-like, the challenges posed by pollen allergies cannot be overlooked. Residents should prepare for a mix of sunny days and allergy symptoms as they embrace the changing season.
