Rain by Season in Waldkirch
**Convective season (June–August)** June through August is the season when Waldkirch's Black Forest upland sees the most convective activity — cells cross the Black Forest stream network catchment faster than forecast models track at city level. The spring shoulder (April–May) sees Waldkirch's Black Forest stream network catchment still saturated from winter, making it more responsive to rainfall than the bare figures suggest.
