Weather 2020 in Germany: That says the long-term forecast of the 100-year farmers calendar. Hot August? Yes. White Christmas? Perhaps.

  • The 2020 farmers calendar predicts a cold spring.
  • The weather should then become summery - but only briefly.
  • The calendar was created in the 17th century and always starts on March 21st.

Munich - Contrary to what its name suggests, the 100-year calendar does not predict the weather in a hundred-year cycle, but in a seven-year cycle. In the 17th century, the Abbot Mauritius Knauer wanted to create a calendar that was permanent. He watched the weather * and then made predictions based on his notes. The basis was the astronomical view of the world at that time. His goal was to make reliable weather forecasts, especially for farmers: when should sowing begin? What crop can be expected?

What many know today as a farmers' calendar is pure charlatanism for some, an instrument that is used in everyday life for others.

Weather forecast 2020 for Germany: This is the first half according to the farmers calendar

The so-called farmers calendar starts on March 21st. According to the Abbot's predictions, a rough and stormy March and a cold, rainy and windy April await us. And while the first half of the corn is supposed to get warm in early summer, it will be ice cold again in the second half. June starts warm, but brings foggy days around June 6 and ends cold - but the rest of the month should be pleasantly warm.

A similar uncomfortable April forecast was already in the farmers calendar for 2019:

Weather forecast 2020 for Germany: So the second half

Rain, cold, wind and sun * alternate until July 14th - but hot summer weather should continue until August, when "great uncomfortable heat" can be expected in the middle of the month, as News.de writes . After a pleasant late summer in September, night frost and rain followed into October. According to the farmers' calendar, the first snow * is already in our house at the end of October . The next snow will only follow again in December - but because a lot of snow is being washed away by rain, it is still unclear whether we will get a white Christmas or not.
