09 April 2025, Brandenburg, Podelzig: A farmer smoothes the dry soil with a special roller, stirring up a lot of dust in the process. The rain that farmers and inland shipping have been longing for will not come to most regions of Germany in the coming days. Only in the north-east could a few drops fall on Friday. The German Weather Service (DWD) speaks of an "exceptionally dry period" and does not expect a change to more changeable weather until the weekend. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa
