The weekend summer shows its most beautiful and hottest side. High Frederik is located over Germany on Friday, bringing us hot temperatures. The day starts mostly sunny, but in Southern Germany, it becomes increasingly humid in the afternoon, and thunderstorms occur mainly over the mountains. However, most regions remain dry and sunny. The high-pressure system shifts its focus towards Eastern Europe only gradually.
At the same time, moist air masses are flowing in. This leads to an increase in shower and thunderstorm risk – the sunshine still prevails. By Sunday, the weather becomes uncertain and the thunderstorm potential increases. Heavy rain, hail, and strong gusts of wind spread over a wide corridor from the North Sea to Swabia.
The following charts show the current weather situation:
