- End of summer anticipation: scorching temperatures, thunderstorms, and substantial rainfall predicted
Summer's final push is nearly here: According to meteorologists, on Tuesday, most of Germany should experience sweltering temperatures, complete with all the usual side effects. The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts showers and occasional thunderstorms in the North Sea region until morning. There's a chance of intense rainfall, up to 20 liters per square meter per hour, in some places. More severe weather with rainfall exceeding 25 liters per square meter is not out of the question.
"From midday onwards, except for the far west and northeast, individual thunderstorms will occur again, particularly in the center and south, starting from the midlands or late afternoon, and even from the Alps in the evening. Intense rainfall of up to 20 liters per square meter in a short time, small hail, and winds of up to 70 km/h (Bft 7 to 8)" is what the DWD forecasts on their website.
There's still a possibility of severe weather due to intense rainfall exceeding 30 liters per square meter in a short period. In some rare instances, extreme conditions with rainfall amounts between 40 and 60 liters per square meter in 1 to 2 hours cannot be ruled out.
More severe weather expected on Wednesday
On Wednesday, it will be sunny and dry in the east and far southeast. In the west, there will be thunderstorms with heavy rain that will move into the north by the afternoon. The eastern middle and the Alps will see strong thunderstorms from the afternoon onwards, increasing the risk of severe weather due to heavy rain and hail. In the west, temperatures will range from 20 to 26 degrees, while in the east, they will range from 27 to 34 degrees, with the hottest spots from Uckermark to East Saxony.
