Weather today in Würzburg (18.05.2026): First risk of rain, later some sun

Würzburg starts Monday mostly gray: In the morning, the sky is mostly overcast, and rain is very likely. As the day progresses, isolated showers remain possible before it becomes temporarily friendlier in the evening. At night, more clouds move in again.

Morning and midday: Highest risk of rain with up to 16 degrees

The most unsettled period, according to current forecast data, is between morning and afternoon. Already in the morning, the cloud cover is largely closed, with temperatures around 4 degrees. For this period, a precipitation risk of 90 percent is given – so it can get wet at times, even if no large amounts of rain are expected.

Around midday, the tendency for showers remains high: A 90 percent chance of precipitation is still indicated, with highs around 16 degrees. The expected amount of rain remains rather low at about 1.4 liters per square meter – for walks through the city, an umbrella can still be useful, as brief showers are enough to quickly soak streets and squares.

For context: According to the weather warning overview from wetterdienst.de, there are currently no official severe weather warnings for Würzburg. This does not rule out unpleasant weather, but it does speak against an acute severe weather situation with officially issued warning levels.

Evening: Occasional clear spells, but overall little sun

In the evening, the friendliest phases of the day are expected in Würzburg. Then, a mix of clouds and sunny intervals is forecast. Temperatures during this time range between 9 and 13 degrees, and the risk of precipitation drops to 25 percent.

However, this does not mean a clear change in the weather: Only about one hour of sunshine is expected for the entire day. The overall impression remains rather autumnal-gray, even if it can become brighter at times in the evening.

The wind is expected to play a minor role. Gusts between 5 and 28 kilometers per hour are expected – noticeable, but not dominant.

Night into Tuesday: More clouds again, hardly any risk of rain

At night, cloud cover increases again, remaining mostly heavily overcast to closed. The temperature drops to about 6 degrees. At the same time, the risk of precipitation decreases significantly and is only given as 5 percent.

In summary, this means for Würzburg: The greatest chances of rain are until the afternoon, with the best chances for clear spells in the evening. Anyone out and about should expect brief wet periods during the day – and more clouds than rain at night.
