Weather forecast - Hot summer weekend with thunderstorm risk
Germany welcomes a hot summer day into the house on Saturday - before a mild weather change comes on Sunday. The German Weather Service (DWD) expects temperatures up to 34 degrees. "This means a strong heat load, especially for the southwestern half and parts of the center," says meteorologist Tobias Reinartz from DWD. It remains cooler at the coasts and in higher mountain regions.
From Saturday afternoon, the risk of thunderstorms increases again: "At least, especially in the mountains, strong thunderstorms must be reckoned with." The thunderstorm cells may move very slowly over the country and could develop locally into heavy rain and flooded cellars. "While at one place local flooding and overflowing cellars may occur, it could remain completely dry in the neighboring place," says Reinartz.
The new week will be changeable
Strong showers and thunderstorms bring cooling from the west according to DWD on Sunday, "even if the highest temperatures of 24 to 29 degrees remain summery warm". The east and southeast are expected to be reached by the rain only in the night to Monday - so that the entire weekend should remain popular outing destinations for ice cream parlors, swimming pools, and lakes with temperatures up to 33 degrees.
The new week starts cooler: "The heat interlude is thus history, and with temperatures of mostly only 22 to 27 degrees, a noticeably damper and for many also more pleasant temperature level sets in," says the meteorologist. In the east and southeast, showers or showery rain with individual thunderstorms are expected to occur. The DWD also expects such weather for the rest of the week. "There are indications that the temperature will go up again towards the weekend."
On Sunday, the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts a weather change, with temperatures dropping slightly even though they will still reach up to 24 degrees. Despite the rain forecasted for the east and southeast on Sunday night, the weekend continues to be an attractive destination for outdoor activities such as ice cream parlors, swimming pools, and lakes, with temperatures remaining warm at up to 33 degrees. Tobias Reinartz from DWD mentions that while some places may experience local flooding and overflowing cellars due to heavy rain, others may remain completely dry.
The new week commences with cooler temperatures, marking the end of the heatwave. Metrologist Tobias Reinartz says that the temperature level will be noticeably damper, reaching mostly 22 to 27 degrees, and providing a more pleasant climate for many. The DWD also anticipates showers or showery rain with individual thunderstorms in the east and southeast throughout the week. However, there are indications that the temperature might increase again towards the upcoming weekend.
On Saturday, Offenbach experiences a hot summer day with temperatures reaching up to 34 degrees, but a mild weather change is expected on Sunday. According to DWD, the risk of thunderstorms rises from Saturday afternoon, especially in the mountains where strong thunderstorms are likely to occur. The weather remains cooler at the coasts and in higher mountain regions, offering a more pleasant temperature for hiking and other outdoor activities.
