Darmstadt today: First gray, then some sun – this is how the day will be

In Darmstadt, Saturday (May 16, 2026) begins mostly gray and cool.

As the day progresses, some clearing is possible, most likely in the evening. At night, cloud cover increases again. Overall, much points to a mostly dry day – with the highest risk of showers in the morning and later at night.

This is how the weather develops in Darmstadt on Saturday

The morning starts heavily clouded to overcast. Early temperatures are around 5 degrees and rise to about 11 degrees during the morning. With a precipitation risk of 35 percent, the likelihood of brief, light showers is highest in the morning.

Around midday, it remains variably cloudy, with temperatures reaching about 14 degrees (12 to 14 degrees). At the same time, the precipitation risk drops to 0 percent – making midday the most stable part of the day.

In the evening, forecasts show the friendliest phase: more sun than clouds, with 10 to 13 degrees and a low rain risk of 10 percent. Those who are outdoors have the best chances for dry conditions and some brightness here.

At night, more clouds move in again. Values drop to about 6 degrees (6 to 9 degrees), and the precipitation risk rises to 25 percent. Isolated brief showers are possible again then.

The rain risk is highest in the morning

The probability of rain fluctuates significantly throughout the day: 35 percent in the morning, 0 percent at midday, 10 percent in the evening, and 25 percent at night. At the same time, the hourly forecast does not indicate any significant precipitation amounts. This rather suggests a largely dry day – with the caveat that in a changeable weather situation, isolated brief showers, especially at the edges of the day, cannot be ruled out.

Classification: These figures are point-in-time forecasts, i.e., predictions for a specific location at certain times. The probability and possible amount each refer to the individual hour – local deviations are therefore possible, even if the overall impression is "mostly dry."

Moderate wind, little sun

The wind remains light to moderate, with gusts between 17 and 32 km/h. This is noticeable, but not typical for a marked wind situation with increased risk of damage.

What stands out is especially the low duration of sunshine: Up to two hours of sunshine are possible for the entire day. This fits the picture of a mostly cloudy day with brief clearings – and a small, friendlier window in the evening.

All in all, it remains mostly cloudy and rather cool for mid-May in Darmstadt on Saturday. Those planning to spend the day outside are best off with a light, warm layer and a rain option for the morning and late hours. A specific severe weather situation just for Darmstadt is not currently apparent in the official notices; however, in the event of short-term changes, it is worth checking current warning updates.
