After a few warm days, the weather in Germany will turn unsettled on Wednesday. Meteorologists are forecasting heavy showers and thunderstorms in some areas, as reported by the "Wetter.de" portal. According to the forecast, rain will sweep across the country in the afternoon, including hail, heavy rain, and gusts of wind. The east of the country will have more luck, with sunny and dry weather persisting for longer.
However, it's not over yet with the summer weather. After the rain, it will gradually become friendlier in the west, with highs between 21 and 32 degrees.
Thunderstorms follow summer heat
The changeable weather is due to the cold front of a low pressure system that is crossing Germany from west to east, according to experts from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach. In particular, the south should be cautious during the passing thunderstorms – hailstones up to two centimeters in size are possible. The thunderstorm weather will continue at least until Thursday, especially south of the Danube, the experts say.
The following maps show the current weather situation:
