At the weekend, some thunderstorms swept over Germany and caused an interruption of the EM match between Germany and Denmark in Dortmund. The German Weather Service (DWD) no longer issues weather warnings at the start of the week, but the summer is still making a few more days of pause in many places.
"Unstable weather conditions continue for the time being, as stated on the DWD website on Monday morning. Furthermore, "cool, at best moderately warm air masses from the Atlantic are making their way to Germany". The result: unsettled weather conditions with heavy rain showers and thunderstorms. Initially, there will be thunderstorms in the north and in the center, and in the south there will be isolated thunderstorms, some of which may bring strong rain and gusty winds. In the north, there is also a possibility of small hail or snow pellets in the afternoon.
The following charts show the current weather situation:
