May Day is celebrated across Germany in a variety of ways ranging from speeches and protests to parades and celebrations.
With most of these traditions taking place outdoors, the weather will play an important role in planning and enjoying this longstanding public holiday.
On the heels of the warmest April in several years, May will start off cooler with more seasonable temperatures across the country.

High temperatures will range from near 10 C (50 F) in northwest Germany to 18 C (64 F) near the border with Poland and across southeast Bavaria.
Normal high temperatures in early May range from 15-17 C (59-62 F) throughout the country.
Some locations will have to deal with a damp morning as light rain and drizzle fall across northwest Germany.
Locations at risk for a wet start to the day include Cologne, Dortmund, Bremen and Hamburg.
Elsewhere, mostly dry weather will prevail throughout the day with a mixture of clouds and sunshine.
Anyone planning to extend their celebration into Tuesday night can expect dry weather.
Anyone heading outdoors during the evening may want to have a jacket handy as temperatures quickly fall.
Overnight lows will fall to or below 4 C (39 F) across much of central and northern Germany and hover a few degrees higher farther south.
