The weekend summer shows its most beautiful and hottest side. High Frederik is located over Germany on Saturday, bringing us hot temperatures. The influence of the high pressure is weakening. In the approach of a low-pressure trough coming from the west, not only very warm to hot, but also increasingly humid air will be brought in, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
As a result, temperatures reach peak values of up to 34 degrees Celsius, for example along the Rhine. In addition, the thunderstorm risk increases. "From midday in the south, starting probably from the Franconian Alb and the Alpine foothills, individual, sometimes strong thunderstorms with heavy rain up to 20 l/qm in a short time, hail up to 2 cm and strong to violent winds (Bft 7/8). Locally also heavy rain (up to 30 l/qm in a short time) and hail up to 3 cm, extreme rain (more than 40 l/qm) locally limited in the afternoon is not excluded."
The situation calms down during the night. From Sunday afternoon, the DWD warns again of partly thunderstorm-like thunderstorms. The temperatures drop to 20 to 13 degrees Celsius.
