It’s getting uncomfortable: The German Weather Service is warning of thunderstorms and heavy rain this weekend. As the meteorologists announced on Saturday, the north and west as well as parts of central Germany are particularly affected by the storms.
In the south and south-east of Germany, hail and gusts of wind must be expected in addition to local thunderstorms on Saturday. Hurricane-like gusts with a speed of up to 110 km/h cannot be ruled out either.
Weather in Germany: Strong thunderstorms expected
Also in the night to Sunday weakening thunderstorms pass over the north and east.
On Sunday, strong thunderstorms are expected, especially in the south, while somewhat drier and more stable air will calm down in the north and in the middle. However, this stabilization does not last, because at the beginning of the week humid air also means there is potential for thunderstorms in the north. In the extreme north and northwest, the maximum temperatures are 22 to 25 degrees, otherwise 25 to 32 degrees with the highest values in south-eastern Bavaria.
At least until the middle of the week it will remain unstable with heavy showers and thunderstorms, it said. The temperatures remain summery. It will be muggy in the south and east. Up to 33 degrees are expected there at the beginning of the week.
