St. Peter-Ording, Germany, July 30 – You don’t need a weatherman to determine wind strength and direction, all you have to do is lick a finger, hold it in the air and see which side dries first. This was exactly the case today in St. Peter-Ording, Germany.
Around 7:00 am, there was an overcast sky with moderate winds coming from the west.

The temperature averaged 19°Celsius.
