After the heat and storms, the weather will calm down a bit towards the weekend - at least in most of Germany. The German Weather Service (DWD) explains: "During the day, a cold front will move over northwestern Germany. This will be followed by moderately warm maritime air, while very warm to hot subtropical air remains dominant. This means that the intense heat in central and northern Germany has come to an end for now. However, high summer temperatures will persist in the south and east for the time being."
Calm weather in the north, possible thunderstorms in Bavaria and Saxony
The risk of thunderstorms remains high there. The DWD expects "isolated thunderstorms today in the afternoon and evening south of the Danube, possibly also spreading to the Swabian Alb and the Bavarian Forest. Heavy rain of up to 20 liters per square meter in a short time is likely, with isolated severe weather events with heavy rain of over 30 liters per square meter in a short time not ruled out."
Residents from NRW to Vorpommern can expect pleasant temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees. In the Lusatia region and in eastern Bavaria, temperatures will rise again to 25 to 32 degrees. Sunny weather with scattered clouds is expected throughout the country.
On Saturday, individual, sometimes strong, thunderstorms will move over the country from the south again. Severe weather is also not ruled out, according to the DWD.
