Forget the Weather App: This Calendar Predicts 40 Days of Rain – Are We Facing a Summer of Constant Rain?

The 100-year calendar is, strictly speaking, not even 100 years old and is based on observations and calculations assigned to certain celestial bodies. The farmers' rules are more like proverbs derived from years of observing nature. Both promise to give us a glimpse into the weather-related future.

The Seven Sleepers Check

A very special role is played by the Seven Sleepers Day, traditionally on June 27th. Do you know the rule? "As the weather is on Seven Sleepers Day, so it may remain for seven weeks." The weather on this one day is supposed to influence the entire late summer weather.

The Forecast of the Elders

And this is where it gets exciting – or rather disappointing for many. Because based on the current weather trends and the interpretation of the 100-year calendar as well as some farmers' rules, much points to a rather changeable summer.

Some interpretations even speak of a "shock forecast" and warn of "40 days of rain." That would, of course, be a nightmare for everyone hoping for sun and swimming fun. The decision, it is said in some interpretations, is supposed to be made around June 19th and then set the course for the Seven Sleepers forecast.

What Does This Mean for Your Summer?

The coming days, especially around June 27th, are therefore crucial if one believes in these old wisdoms. The weather then could, according to these old wisdoms, set the tone for the coming weeks.

Of course, the 100-year calendar and the farmers' rules are not scientifically based weather models. They are interesting traditions that show how our ancestors tried to understand and predict nature.

Will the gloomy forecast really come true? That remains to be seen. Keep your eyes – and umbrella – ready when the Seven Sleepers approach!
