reports on the exact forecast of the popular weather calendar.
100-year calendar with a clear forecast: This is how warm the weather will be in spring 2024
In Germany and throughout the northern hemisphere, calendar spring 2024 begins on Wednesday, March 20th.
At this point it should initially be quite humid, but “well-tempered”.
The meteorological start of spring is earlier, on March 1st.
Extreme weather is not expected in March for the time being.
The centenary calendar
The 100-year calendar was written by an abbot, Mauritus Knauer, at the end of the 19th century.
The weather calendar, also known as the farmers' calendar, is based on the constellation of the planets and is a book that, in conjunction with people's observations and experiences, gives a weather forecast for individual years, seasons, months and even days.
The calendar also gives tips for cultivation and warns of possible pests or vermin.
But it could already be warm as summer in April.
The “100-year calendar” announces typical April weather.
According to the saying “April, April, April, he does what he wants,” rain and cold should regularly alternate with summer temperatures and sunshine.
According to the weather calendar, there can be bangs from April 18th onwards: isolated thunderstorms can occur until April 22nd.
Rain, snow and hail are not uncommon at this time of year.
Frost in spring – 100-year calendar with changeable weather forecast
While the first half of May 2024 is expected to be very mixed but rather warm according to the weather calendar, it can really cool down again towards the end.
There will even be frost at the end of May.
It remains to be seen whether the Ice Saints, a well-known weather phenomenon in Germany, will come.
According to the “100-year calendar”, the frost is expected to last well into June.
The weather calendar therefore advises pet owners to be careful.
This can have devastating health consequences for animals left outside on pasture.

For June, which is often perceived as a summer month, but is only part of summer in meteorological terms and is only summer from June 21st, the hundred-year-old calendar predicts the following weather: “Sun, rain, sun, rain and something else towards the end more rain.”
Spring 2024 will be a solar year: This is what the planets say about the weather
Spring 2024 falls in the so-called “solar year” of the centennial calendar.
To understand the centennial calendar, it is helpful to know its structure.
The weather calendar is based on a seven-year cycle.
The planets, the sun and the moon are assigned different positions based on their orbital periods:
Position 1 Saturn
Position 2 Jupiter
Position 3 Mars
Position 4 sun
Position 5 Venus
Position 6 Mercury
Position 7 Sun
In order to calculate which year which celestial body is assigned to, the following calculation helps, as the “100-year calendar” explains: the year “2024” minus 4 = 2020, the result divided by 287 rounds down to 7. This gives us 2024 Position 7 for the solar year.
The weather calendar records the typical temperatures, weather conditions and phenomena for the various years based on observations and experiences.
In addition to the weather forecast, the calendar also provides information on cultivation and possible pest infestations.
Is the weather forecast of the 100-year calendar reliable?
However, it should always be noted that the centenary calendar is not scientifically based, but is based on experience, observations and planetary constellations.
However, the “German Weather Service” (DWD) points out that weather forecasts from meteorologists that extend beyond a period of ten days are inaccurate and speculative.
It remains to be seen whether the weather forecast of the 100-year calendar for winter is correct.
