- Thunderstorms expected at Adele concert <unk> Maps show where heavy rain is likely
Fans heading to the Adele concert should not forget their raincoats, as the weather threatens to turn unpleasant: The eagerly awaited performance of the British pop singer could also make headlines due to bad weather. "Repeated showers are expected in Munich until late evening, and thunderstorms are likely," a meteorologist from the German Weather Service told the German Press Agency on Friday. "The focus is on heavy rain, but hail and gusts of wind are not ruled out. And this could continue into Saturday night."
The outlook is better just a few kilometers north, he explained. "The border is exactly at Munich, but Munich is still in the range." So fans should keep their fingers crossed, as the weather expert left a small back door open: "You could also get lucky and have almost nothing, but unfortunately, the forecasts are not very accurate in this weather situation."
Concert organizers had already planned for bad weather
The organizers of the ten concert evenings in the arena built especially for Adele, which has a capacity of 73,000 and is complemented by an Adele-themed park for entertainment before and after the performance, have indeed considered bad weather: A special type of asphalt has been laid on 100,000 square meters that is permeable and prevents visitors from standing in puddles.
However, there is ultimately no protection against another weather hazard: "Exposed areas like the masts are of course dangerous in the event of lightning," the meteorologist warned. In case of emergency, the nearby exhibition halls are to provide shelter for the masses, according to the plan.

The maps used are partly from wetter.de. The portal is like Stern, part of RTL Germany. Additionally, maps from Windy.com have been embedded. The creators use the model from the "European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts" for their displays and predictions.
Fans should keep their umbrellas handy during the Adele concert, as heavy rain is forecasted throughout the evening. Despite Munich's rain prediction, the weather is predicted to be better just a few kilometers north.
Although the concert organizers have prepared for bad weather by laying a permeable asphalt, they cannot guarantee protection against lightning, which poses a hazard in exposed areas.
