Wettest Summer on Record in Berlin

Berliner Wetterkarte at Freie Universität: Record Set after Only Two Months. No 208/2017 from Jul 31, 2017 According to calculations by the Berliner Wetterkarte association at Freie Universität Berlin, the summer of 2017 in the region around the German capital has already gone on record as the wettest summer since the beginning of the weather records in Berlin-Dahlem. Even a long dry period in August wouldn't change that, said meteorologist Petra Gebauer on Monday. Since 1908, when the record keeping began, no summer has had this much precipitation. In June and July the low pressure zones RASMUND, ZLATAN, and ALFRED brought 373.5 liters of rain per square meter to Berlin-Dahlem. This was more precipitation than was measured for the entire summer of 2007, which has so far been considered the wettest summer on record. "This new record was reached even though there was only a significant amount of rain on slightly more than half of the past 60 days," stressed Petra Gebauer.
