Rain warning for RLP day: Wet weekend expected in Neustadt!
A noticeable drop in temperature has been noticeable in Rhineland-Palatinate in the last few days. Even though there has been no heavy rain so far, weather experts expect significant changes in the coming days. Visitors to the Rhineland-Palatinate Day, which begins today in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, are preparing for wet conditions. Around 225,000 guests are expected at this three-day state festival, which will take place despite the threatening weather. The first rains are expected on Saturday evening, while the maximum temperatures will be between 16 and 19 degrees, as SWR reports.
The current weather conditions are influenced by a low pressure area over Sweden, which is bringing cool sea air to Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. The German Weather Service (DWD) has warned of frost in the valleys and hollows of the mountainous region, especially on Saturday night, where temperatures can drop to -1 degrees. During the day it will be cloudy in places with maximum temperatures of 12 to 17 degrees, although the general weather situation is described as cool to very cool, as DWD states.
Weather forecast for the weekend
On Saturday the sky will initially be partly cloudy before thickening clouds begin in the late afternoon. The first rain is expected from the evening onwards, with the greatest chance of precipitation in Neustadt between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., according to [SWR](https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/rheinland-pfalz/wetter-vorhersage- outlooken-regen-schauer-nass-rheinland-pfalz-tag-rlp-tag-neustadt-weinstrasse-100.html). It will also be similarly warm on Sunday with temperatures up to 21 degrees. Here too, meteorologists expect a lot of clouds and rain, which turns into showers during the day, as well as isolated short thunderstorms. The weather situation will become a little more stable on Monday, with high temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees and only a few showers in the northwest.
A sudden drop in temperature is expected in the coming nights. Nighttime temperatures can drop to between 10 and 8 degrees. This could be particularly important for visitors to the Rhineland-Palatinate Day, who should prepare themselves for the cold and wet conditions. The festival will start with the opening ceremony on Friday afternoon, and despite the impending bad weather conditions, numerous activities are planned that will cause a stir in the region.
Conclusion and outlook
The weather forecasts point to a mixed week in which people in Rhineland-Palatinate have to expect both cool temperatures and rain. It remains to be hoped that Rhineland-Palatinate Day will be a positive experience for visitors despite the weather. The weather trend shows that up to 50% of weather forecasts point to more stable weather conditions, which means that the sun could also find its place in the program.
