Friday, the common stereotype becomes reality: "A boundary between hot and humid air in the southeastern part and dry and cooler air in the north, two distinct air masses, as reported by the German Weather Service (DWD) early Friday," foretold the DWD's website. This boundary is expected to initiate localized showers and thunderstorms from northern Rhineland-Palatinate and NRW, all the way to northeastern Germany, as further announced.
While the DWD declared a heat warning for the majority of the south and Saxony on Friday morning, they also issued a warning for heavy thunderstorms in the northeast. This forecast predicts a broad spectrum of temperatures: between 20 and 33 degrees Celsius, depending on the region.
