How to read the values

The data is structured as a point-in-time forecast: weather, temperature, wind, and other values are specified for specific time periods at the location of Potsdam. Important for the precipitation probability: it refers to each individual hour – a high percentage does not automatically mean continuous rain, but rather an increased risk that precipitation will occur during that period.

All in all, it will be mostly gray, occasionally wet, and rather cool for May in Potsdam on 11.05.2026. Anyone out and about should especially expect rain phases and strong gusts until the afternoon.
