Cologne gets a dry, partly sunny day with highs near 17 °C, before rain returns on Tuesday afternoon.

The official warning check for Cologne is available (DWD, 07:06) and contains no warnings.

Today

Cologne begins Monday under thick cloud at around 12 °C. The cloud breaks up during the afternoon, and with highs near 17 °C there are roughly 4.5 hours of sunshine to be had.

No rain is expected before midnight. By the evening it slips back to 13–14 °C as the wind picks up from an easterly direction.

Tonight

The night stays dry, though cloud builds again and the temperature falls to around 10 °C. South-easterly gusts reach about 25 km/h.

Tomorrow

Tuesday starts much cooler at 8 °C and stays dry until midday. From around 16:00 light rain sets in and lasts until about 22:00; little more than two millimetres is likely.

A noticeable south-easterly wind comes with it, gusting to 32 km/h.

Outlook

The rain becomes heavier in the night to Wednesday, with around 7.5 mm by the morning and an 86 per cent chance of rain. Wednesday stays dull and wet at 15 °C, while Thursday brings further showers and gusts to 37 km/h.

Friday looks distinctly windier, with gusts near 70 km/h – that figure is still a trend rather than a firm forecast.

In context

Sunday was the dullest day of the past week, with 12.7 °C and just 1.7 hours of sunshine; since the wet Saturday, which brought 4.3 mm, the weather has settled. Today lifts briefly – about four degrees warmer than yesterday, with a largely dry afternoon. The break is short, as Tuesday's afternoon rain and the wet night into Wednesday return Cologne to a changeable October. Anyone planning time outdoors this week is best off using the dry mornings.

Wind

The wind shifts from north-east to east and south-east today, staying mostly light at 6–15 km/h. Gusts may reach 28 km/h in the afternoon and 32 km/h on Tuesday. That is noticeable on open stretches and on bridges, but nothing more.
