Germany and the Summer – a brief interlude. In the past few days, the sun had a hard time fighting through dense clouds. It is still pleasant and often friendly in most parts of Germany, but that will change by the weekend.
"High pressure influence brings initially calm weather with mild Atlantic air. On Friday, a cold front from an Icelandic low moves in from the northwest", reports the German Weather Service (DWD). In the south and towards Lausitz, it is still expected to be sunny and harmless high pressure clouds. "Otherwise, changing, sometimes heavily overcast and some rain, preferably in the west and north of the country. In the north, there are also some strong thunderstorms. Highest temperatures in the northwest 21 to 25 degrees, otherwise high summer temperatures 25 to 30 degrees."
However, rain is on the agenda again starting Saturday: "On Saturday, in a broad band from the Upper Rhine and the Eifel to the northeast, heavy rain with strong thunderstorms", according to the DWD. It will still be warm, however. The DWD expects temperatures between 20 degrees at the coast and 33 degrees in Southeast Bavaria over the weekend.
