According to the German Weather Service, on Whit Monday the focus of the thunderstorm will shift slightly towards the north. There may be another chance of severe rain in the southwest on Tuesday.
According to the meteorologists, an exact forecast is difficult because the exact centers and the amounts of rain are currently calculated very differently by the models. But: “Parts of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Baden-Württemberg will probably be affected.” Although the calculated amounts of rain are not as high as last Friday, most of the rain comes from the sky within 6 to 12 hours, said Böse. And if Saarland and the Palatinate are again the focus of rainfall, rising water levels and possibly floods and floods must be expected there again.
The forecasts for all of Germany in detail
A change of sun and clouds is expected on Whit Monday. During the day there may be showers and thunderstorms, especially north of the Moselle – Harz – Lower Lusatia line and in the foothills of the Alps. The DWD warns locally about the risk of heavy rain. In between, in a strip from the Palatinate to Franconia and Saxony, it will mostly remain dry and longer sunny periods are expected. Maximum values are 20 to 25 degrees, but it stays a little cooler at the sea and in the higher mountains.
On Tuesday, the sky in the southwest half is forecast to be mostly cloudy. Heavy and sometimes thundery rain will move in from the south and will reach the southern center by the evening. There may be isolated strong thunderstorms on the northern edge of the rain area and in the west. According to the forecasts, in the north and northeast it will be clear to sunny and dry. During prolonged rainfall, the maximum values only reach 17 degrees, otherwise 20 to 25 degrees. From the Rhineland and Emsland to Saxony and Brandenburg it can even be 25 to 29 degrees.
According to the DWD, on Wednesday there will be heavy rain in areas with changing clouds, which will also spread to the north and northeast – with sometimes heavy thunderstorms. Storms caused by heavy rain cannot be ruled out.
