Warm and Sunny Days Ahead in Hesse for Corpus Christi and Beyond
Anticipated Abundance of Solar Radiation in Hesse Over the Upcoming Period - Anticipated Plentiful Sunshine Across Hesse in the Upcoming Period
Brace yourselves, Hesse residents! The German Weather Service in Offenbach predicts a heatwave is coming, with plenty of sunshine and soaring temperatures. This weekend will be particularly hot, with thermometers rising to 28-32 degrees.
On Thursday, Corpus Christi, expect northern winds and cooler air masses, with temperatures ranging between 20-28 degrees, although some parts may reach up to 28 degrees. The day will be predominantly sunny with mostly blue skies.
As we move into Friday to Sunday, temperatures will escalate as wind shifts from north to south. Under mostly sunny skies and light winds, temperatures will climb significantly to between 28-34 degrees. In some parts, especially in lower elevations, temperatures could even top 37 degrees, approaching "Wüstentag" (desert day) conditions.
However, be prepared for an afternoon/evening shower or two on Sunday afternoon, especially over western Germany. Cumulus clouds will develop, leading to scattered showers and thunderstorms during the evening, and possibly becoming severe or "unwetterartig" (stormy, possibly with heavy rain and strong winds). Higher elevations may also experience these thunderstorm developments.
For those residing in higher elevations, temperatures will generally follow the trend of warming but will usually be slightly cooler compared to lowland areas. The potential for thunderstorms exists due to orographic lifting.
Get ready to embrace the heat, but don't forget to keep an eye on the weather forecast for any potential severe storms. Safe and sunny days ahead in Hesse!
The Commission has also been consulted on the draft directive regarding the heatwave forecast in Hesse, as weather-forecasting plays a crucial role in preparing for extreme weather conditions such as this. Despite the heatwave, a thunderstorm warning has been issued for Sunday afternoon, particularly over western Germany and higher elevations, where orographic lifting could potentially lead to severe thunderstorms.
