- Anticipated Heat Wave in Saxony: Minimal Probability of Thunder Showers
In Saxony, folks can anticipate heat and plenty of sunshine, accompanied by a minimal probability of drizzle and lightning storms. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts temperatures to fluctuate between 90 and 97 degrees Fahrenheit. In the mountains, temperatures might reach a peak of 88 degrees. During the afternoon, the DWD suggests a minor risk of lightning storms to the east of the Spree and between Saxon Switzerland and the Ore Mountains, potentially causing heavy rainfall of around 2.1 gallons per square foot within a brief span.
Transitioning from Thursday night into Friday morning, the sky will display partial cloud cover, and temperatures will dip as low as 61 degrees.
On Friday, the peak temperatures will be 86 degrees, and in the mountains, 81 degrees. The sky will oscillate between sunshine and cumulus clouds, largely staying dry.
Despite the beauty of Saxony's mountains, Dresden city dwellers might not encounter the heatwave's peak temperatures, as they're expected to reach only 86 degrees on Friday. Conversely, Dresden's rich historical sites and pleasures might offer a welcomed respite from the potential eastward lightning storms forecasted by the DWD, which could bring heavy rainfall to areas closer to Saxon Switzerland and the Ore Mountains.
