Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

The first weather observer on this summit was the innkeeper of the Fichtelberghaus. He recorded his weather observations from 1890 onwards, but from 1898 onwards only intermittently, and from 1910 onwards not at all. The head of the Royal Saxon State Meteorological Observatory, Paul Schreiber, suggested the construction of a permanent weather observatory. Temperature, wind speed, and precipitation amounts have been continuously recorded here since January 1, 1916. The strongest storm recorded here was on January 3, 1976, with a peak gust speed of 216 kilometers per hour. The coldest day on the summit was February 9, 1956, with minus 30.4 degrees Celsius; the warmest was July 27, 1983, with plus 30.8 degrees Celsius. The highest snow cover was measured in March 1944: 3.35 meters. The year 1951 was bad for Fichtelberg tourists: it held the record for foggy days with 315.

So far, nothing has helped. Neither the protest of ARD betting expert Donald Bäcker nor the petition with 6,500 signatures from the GREENS in the Bundestag. The weather station on the Fichtelberg is being shut down, and data will be recorded fully automatically from 2019. On August 27, there was no night shift for the first time since January 1, 1916. A fact that the GREENS criticize. District leader Ulrike Kahl: "What no two world wars, no major fire, no violent thunderstorms, storms or other bad weather up there have ever been able to do has now happened. The unique climate series, which are valuable for research, have thus had their first gaps." Source:
