weather - Temperature in NRW - Near midday almost 32 degrees in the west
The temperatures in NRW reached almost 32 degrees Celsius at noon on Saturday in NRW. In Schleiden in the Eifel, 31.6 degrees were recorded, and 31.5 degrees in Toensvorst on the Lower Rhine, according to David Boetzel from the German Weather Service in Essen who spoke on request on Saturday.
Along the Rheinschiene, the heat set in firmly during the day. Many people sought relief from the heat at the waters and in outdoor pools. A tropical night was predicted to follow the first hot day of the year, with temperatures potentially reaching 21 degrees.
The dry heat transformed into humid heat throughout the day. The background: A low pressure system is pushing out the high pressure influence and is loading the air with moisture, as the meteorologist explained. Severe thunderstorms with hail and heavy rain are therefore predicted to occur on Saturday evening throughout the country, and could even reach the dimensions of thunderstorms. Up to 40 liters of water per square meter can fall in a short time in the places where this occurs, as was stated.
On Sunday, it will remain cloudy throughout the country. Rainfall amounts of up to 30 liters per square meter are possible in some places. The temperatures will drop to around 27 degrees Celsius throughout the country. The night to Monday is expected to be around 13 to 17 degrees Celsius cooler.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, the weather forecast predicts a tropical night following the hot Saturday, with temperatures potentially reaching 21 degrees. People in Tönisvorst, located on the Lower Rhine, might enjoy leisure activities at outdoor pools to escape the heat during the day. The Eifel region, including Schleiden, is also experiencing high temperatures, similar to those recorded in the rest of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Rhine track, running along the Rheinschiene, has seen the heat set in firmly, making it an ideal spot for water activities when the severe thunderstorms pass, predicted for Saturday evening.
