“Wetter leer 16 tage” refers to a period of 16 days of dry weather in German-speaking regions. It is a traditional belief that this period, which typically occurs in August, brings good weather and a bountiful harvest.
The “Wetter leer 16 tage” is said to have originated in the Middle Ages, when farmers relied on the weather to ensure a successful harvest. If the weather was dry during this period, it was believed that the crops would be plentiful. Over time, this belief has become ingrained in German culture, and the “Wetter leer 16 tage” is still widely observed today.
