Rain, clouds, and only brief sunny intervals: This is today's weather in Erfurt

Erfurt faces a changeable day on Thursday (June 11, 2026): Light showers are possible again and again, and it will remain mostly cloudy. Temperatures will only rise slowly and will range between 10 and 16 degrees during the day. The wind may also pick up at times.

The risk of showers increases significantly at midday

In the morning, Erfurt can expect 15 / 10 degrees, with a precipitation risk of 85 percent. According to the forecast, instability will increase further at midday: 16 / 15 degrees are expected then, with a 90 percent chance of rain. At the same time, sunshine will be scarce – overall, only up to two hours of sunshine are possible for the day.

This time window also brings the greatest weather dynamics: Light showers are forecast for midday, and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. The wind fits this picture: Gusts between 17 and 37 km/h may accompany the shower fronts and make the weather feel noticeably "cooler" on open areas or at street intersections than the temperature values might suggest.

A look at the current situation supports the picture of an unsettled day: At the Erfurt-Weimar weather station, readings in the late morning were around 9.5 degrees, with mostly (heavily) cloudy skies and a freshening southwesterly wind; no precipitation was recorded there in the last few hours. This suggests that dry spells are possible – but not reliably predictable. The radar overview for Thuringia also indicates increased convection, which may locally favor heavier showers or thunderstorms during the day. Whether and where thunderstorms actually occur often depends on just a few kilometers in such situations.

In the evening it remains mostly heavily overcast

Towards evening, the precipitation risk drops to 30 percent. Temperatures then fall to 15 / 12 degrees. At night, 12 / 11 degrees are expected, also with a 30 percent precipitation risk. Instead of frequent showers, a dense cloud cover will dominate: Both for the evening and the night, "heavily overcast" is forecast.

What the forecast means – and why it can change quickly

The information is structured as a point-in-time forecast: Weather, temperature, wind, and cloud cover each refer to specific times. Precipitation probability and amount are also given by the hour. Especially on days with showers and possible thunderstorm activity, the weather can change locally and quickly – sometimes only a few minutes separate "dry" from "wet" conditions.

All in all, it will be a cool, gray Thursday in Erfurt with only brief friendly intervals. Anyone out and about should expect showers around midday and afternoon, plan for a light rain jacket or umbrella – and keep an eye on the sky when dark clouds approach.
