Germany and the summer – a brief interlude. In the past few days, the sun had a hard time fighting through dense clouds. It is still pleasant and often friendly in most parts of Germany, but that will change by the weekend.
"High pressure from the Atlantic brings calm weather initially. On Friday, a cold front from an Icelandic low approaches from the northwest", the German Weather Service (DWD) reports. In the south and towards Lausitz, the sun is still expected in large quantities and only harmless fair-weather clouds. "Otherwise, changing conditions, sometimes heavily overcast and some rain, preferably in the west and north of the country. In the north, individual, sometimes strong thunderstorms", according to the DWD. Temperatures in the northwest are expected to be between 21 and 25 degrees, and otherwise around 25 to 30 degrees.
However, rain is on the agenda again starting Saturday: "Rain in a broad band from the Upper Rhine and the Eifel to the northeast, with heavy and at times stronger rain, as well as individual strong thunderstorms", the DWD reports. It remains warm for the time being. The DWD expects temperatures between 20 degrees at the coast and 33 degrees in Southeast Bavaria over the weekend.
