From the Baltic coast at the start, May often brings a cool feel with long cloudy spells and frequent drizzle, broken by brief sunny windows. Moving onto the mainland and toward Lübeck, the mix stays changeable: light showers are common, with the odd band of steadier rain, but there are also dry stretches. Farther inland toward the Elbe, days turn a touch milder and a bit drier between passing showers, though overcast skies remain frequent. Daytime temperatures sit mostly in the low to mid-teens Celsius, with occasional warmer interludes.
Crossing into Lower Saxony, longer bright spells appear between passing showers as you head through the heath and toward the Hanover area. The pattern stays mixed here: intervals of sunshine punctuated by showers and a few heavier bursts. South toward the Leine valley and Göttingen, warmth builds on calmer days, yet late-day showers can still crop up. Typical afternoons reach the high teens to low 20s Celsius.
Entering Thuringia around the Eichsfeld, skies are often overcast with light drizzle at times, then opening to brighter breaks. Following the Werra toward Eisenach, it remains changeable—mostly dry for hours, then a passing shower or a brief, heavier spell sweeping through. Daytime temperatures generally sit in the mid-teens to low 20s Celsius, and evenings turn cool.
