(Alternate title: Bundle up, it’s June!)
The word for the day is ‘Schafskälte’ – and that translates to ‘Sheeps Cold’.
What does that mean?
A statistically frequent European weather phenomenon. A true “sheep’s cold spell” can result in a temperature drop of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius (9-18 Fahrenheit degrees) during the period between June 4 to June 18 (most often around June 11). The name comes from the risk to freshly shorn sheep from the unusually cold weather. It usually results from cool and damp northwesterly winds.
How cold is it gonna get?`4°C – 5°C will be our low temperatures the next couple days.
I’m glad I’m not a sheep.
