The meteorological data of the whole [[East Westphalia|East-Westphalia]]n region comply with zone ''Cfb'' of the [[Köppen climate classification]], named as Temperate [[Oceanic climate]]. This rough classification gives no suitable and detailed description of the regional situation.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sträter |first1=Ellen |title=Die Klimaentwicklung in NRW |journal=Natur in NRW |volume=2010 |issue=1 |pages=39–42 |url=http://www.lanuv.nrw.de/veroeffentlichungen/natur_in_nrw/201001/NiN_1-2010_1-52_Monitor.pdf |access-date=7 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612224328/http://www.lanuv.nrw.de/veroeffentlichungen/natur_in_nrw/201001/NiN_1-2010_1-52_Monitor.pdf |archive-date=12 June 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The furthest north-eastern part of East-Westphalia is the driest of the state,<ref>{{cite book |publisher=Landesamt für Natur, Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz Nordrhein-Westfalen |title=Jahresbericht 2021 (''Annual Report'') |date=2021 |location=Düsseldorf |page=30 |url=https://www.lanuv.nrw.de/fileadmin/lanuvpubl/2_jahresberichte/LANUV-Jahresbericht_2021.pdf |access-date=16 June 2022}}</ref> though located in a small distance to the sea, caused by the main direction of the [[cyclone]]s from roughly west to east with its prevailing south-westerly rain-bringing [[weather front]]s. So the Minden region lies in the [[leeward]] [[rain shadow]] of the [[Teutoburg Forest]] and the Wiehen Hills. A cloudy weather south of the Wiehen Hills is often connected with clear sky in the north of the hills.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Lokales Wettergeschehen |journal=Petershäger Anzeiger |date=24 September 2019 |url=https://www.petershaeger-anzeiger.de/wetter/lokales-wettergeschehen/ |access-date=7 March 2022}}</ref>
