Weather (Wear your raincoat)

Written by Silas and Luke




If you ever come to Germany BRING A RAINCOAT!!!!!  If you don't bring a raincoat you will suffer the wrath of rain.  Seriously, I didn't bring a raincoat to school one day and I got soaked to the skin.  It is also much colder.  On a typical Dusseldorf day you will need boots, raincoat/winter coat, winter hat or mutze, gloves, thick socks, long-johns, jeans, and maybe a scarf.


Luke's bad soccer weather experience


I played soccer in fourteen degree Fahrenheit, and very windy.  I couldn't wear a winter coat.  Basically I got a cold from playing.


Silas's bad soccer weather experience 


I played a game in the rain, just above freezing, and super windy.  I was not allowed to wear a hat during the game because it wasn't "professional".  All I had on was Under Armour, my jersey, gloves, long-johns, shorts, socks, and soccer equipment.  It was the worst game I have ever played.


One thing I will always be prepared for... rain.  It doesn't rain hard but it rains a lot.


So be ready for Dusseldorf weather if you come here.
