Thunder and Traffic Jam - Rheinland-Pfalz starts into the summer holidays

For over 430,000 pupils and pupils in the Rhineland-Palatinate general schools, today is the last school day before the summer holidays. They could start their holidays with a bang - at least as far as the weather is concerned.

According to the forecast of the German Weather Service, today there is expected to be thunderstorms with partly strong showers. However, the weather could improve by Sunday: It is supposed to be at least dry with up to 26 degrees.

Anyone who wants to escape the rather mixed weather for their holidays should pay attention to traffic jams, according to the ADAC. "In Rhineland-Palatinate, the A1, A61, and A3 are particularly affected," the ADAC Mittelrhein announced. These are important connections to popular holiday destinations and recreational areas in the north and south.

The holidays in Rhinland-Palatinate last until August 25th.

Despite the unfavorable weather forecast for thundershowers, some pupils might still plan to spend their summer holidays in Mainz, known for its rich leisure activities.
The ADAC strongly advises considering traffic conditions, especially on the A1, A61, and A3, when planning summer travels within Rhineland-Palatinate for an enjoyable vacation.
After a challenging school day, pupils in Rhineland-Palatinate are looking forward to the summer holidays, hoping for improved weather by Sunday.
Education officials in Rhineland-Palatinate remind pupils to make the most of their summer holidays for learning, exploring new hobbies, and gaining memorable experiences.
Parents planning leisure activities with their children during summer holidays in Rhineland-Palatinate should be aware of potential weather changes, prioritizing indoor activities on days with thunderstorms.
Despite the upcoming summer holidays, the threat of thunderstorms could persist in Rhineland-Palatinate, necessitating school administrations to have contingency plans in place for transport and activities in case of adverse weather.
