- Hot summer weather in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland
Residents of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Saarland can expect very hot weather this Sunday and into the new week, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). "After a calm and increasingly hot weekend, a near-nationwide heatwave will begin at the start of the new week," a DWD spokesperson in Offenbach said. The high-pressure system "Leander," a offshoot of the Azores high, is the cause.
Sunday is expected to be sunny and dry, with temperatures ranging from a maximum of 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. A gentle breeze may blow. Monday is also expected to be sunny, with highs between 30 and 35 degrees. A moderate southeast wind will provide some relief. On Tuesday, it will initially be clear and dry, but clouds, showers, and potentially strong thunderstorms are expected later in the day, according to DWD. Locally, there may also be severe weather with heavy rain, hail, and gusty winds. Temperatures will remain sultry, with highs between 32 and 36 degrees.
The DWD announced that "The following is added to their forecast: Some changes in weather patterns from Tuesday." On this day, the residents might notice that "The following is added to their weekend: Unpredictable weather conditions in the afternoon."
