Amidst the heatwave's descent, thunderstorms and cooling are forecast for Thursday. - Anticipated Weather Change: Thunderstorms and Cooling Forecast for Thursday Following the Heatwave
The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a warning for thunderstorms and cooling conditions across several regions in Germany on Thursday. The heat wave currently sweeping the country is expected to give way to stormy weather, particularly in the mountainous and northeastern regions.
According to the DWD, scattered showers and thunderstorms are predicted for the central and northeastern parts of Germany, including Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and other northeastern areas. These storms may bring heavy rain, hail, and strong gusts, with up to 105 km/h possible in some areas.
The storms are expected to develop from midday onwards, moving eastwards during the night. Initially, Thursday will start clear and dry, with temperatures reaching up to 29°C in cities like Berlin. However, as the storms develop in the afternoon, temperatures will cool down due to the storm activity and rain.
While the detailed forecast for Offenbach, near Frankfurt in Hesse, and the specific mountainous areas is not explicitly mentioned, the surrounding regions, including North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony, are likely to experience similar unstable weather with thunderstorms and associated cooling.
Northeastern areas, such as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, can expect these thunderstorm activities as part of the wider storm system affecting eastern and northeastern Germany.
In contrast, the southeastern parts of Germany will continue to experience high temperatures, with temperatures between 29 and 36 degrees Celsius predicted. However, thunderstorms are expected to spread to the southeast of Germany in the afternoon. In the northwest of Germany, temperatures will drop to between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius on Thursday.
In summary, Thursday will bring a transition from warm, dry, and clear conditions in the morning to stormy weather with thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail, and wind gusts in the mountainous and northeastern regions of Germany, leading to a noticeable cooling during and after the storm events. It is advisable for residents in these areas to stay informed and prepared for potential weather-related disruptions.
The weather forecast from the Germany's weather service (DWD) predicts thunderstorms and cooling conditions across various regions such as Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and other northeastern areas on Thursday. These weather changes are expected after the peak of the current heat wave and will be followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms in the central and northeastern parts of Germany, which will be responsible for bringing significant cooling.
