Thunderstorm - Weather service expects local storms with heavy rain

After local thunderstorms in the south of Germany on Wednesday, there is a possibility of local storms and showers in wide parts of the country on Thursday. Meteorologist Tanja Egerer of the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach explains:

While the north and south have sunshine with temperatures up to 32 degrees on Wednesday, there is a chance of thunderstorms and showers in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The focus is mainly on heavy rain. "This only occurs locally and is limited in scope," Egerer stresses. However, it can be quite intense in those areas. "There is a risk of flooded basements and garages, small streams may temporarily swell."

Detailed forecasts

On Thursday, thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected to develop from north to south across the broad middle of the country. The DWD anticipates regional extreme weather conditions. For the northeastern and western regions, where there is more sunshine, a lower storm tendency is forecast. The highest temperatures are expected to be between 24 and 31 degrees.

On Friday, it will be pleasant and mostly dry in the south and east at first. However, a showery rain with local thunderstorms is expected to move in from the west.
