- Unpredictable weather shifts: A tempest on Friday, radiant sunshine on Saturday, Summer's wild ride continues.
The sizzling summer of 2024 hasn't lost its charm yet: The upcoming days promise a notable temperature surge. However, significant temperature fluctuations are on the horizon, as predicted by the German Weather Service (DWD). By Friday, temperatures will range from 20 to 24 degrees in the northwest and 25 to 30 degrees elsewhere nationwide.
DWD: "Summer's not done yet, there's still some sunshine left in August"
Saturday is expected to be the hottest day. While the northwest will experience 24 to 29 degrees with plenty of clouds, the DWD anticipates 29 to 34 degrees elsewhere under sunshine. However, a cold front is looming. It could kick off thunderstorms with a severe weather potential along the border with Benelux in the afternoon and evening. These storms are expected to move southeast towards the center during the night on Sunday, reaching southeastern Bavaria on Sunday itself.
"Following that, a wave of cool ocean air will sweep in, bringing nighttime lows of up to 10 degrees by Monday night," said DWD meteorologist Marcus Beyer. "After that, a stable high-pressure system is anticipated in the coming week." Summer's not over just yet.
