Anticipated weather pattern: Expect rising temperatures and thunderstorms this weekend.
Weekend Weather Outlook: Temperatures Peaking at 35°C, Stormy Skies loom
Get ready for a dynamic weekend in Germany! Sunny and sizzling weather is about to roll in, giving way to the occasional heavy thunderstorms as predicted by the German Weather Service (DWD).
On Saturday, temperatures will soar, hitting highs of 28 to 35°C across the country. The northern half and northeast will see temperatures ranging from 22 to 27°C. From the evening onwards into Sunday night, the DWD is warning frequent and occasionally intense thunderstorms in the western half of the country.
Meteorologist Adrian Leyser warns that the storms may cause locally heavy rainfall, possibly leading to flooding and flooded basements. Keep an eye on severe weather updates!
By Sunday, the thunderstorms will move towards the southeast and east. It'll still be warm and humid, with temperatures reaching 26 to 32°C in the southeastern half and 20 to 26°C in the northwestern half. After the storms have passed, the western and northwestern parts will start to calm down.
Looking forward, meteorologist Leyser also hints at a more comfortable week ahead, with pleasant mixtures of sun and clouds. However, the north and northeast might experience cooler and cloudier weather due to low-pressure systems moving in. Expect a drop in temperatures, reaching a maximum of only 20 to 26°C on Monday.

Enrichment Data:- While thunderstorms are not explicitly forecasted for this weekend, the broader European weather pattern suggests a potential for unstable conditions that could result in thunderstorms, especially if the heatwave impacts Germany more intensely later in the week.- Germany's weather predictions for June 15-16, 2025, indicate a mix of conditions with a focus on temperatures and storm possibilities. On Saturday, Bonn can expect a high of 25°C and a low of 17°C, while Sunday will be relatively stable, with a high of 25°C and a low of 12°C in Bonn.
The Commission may seek support from the Member States in preparing an annual report that highlights the impact of extreme weather events, such as the anticipated thunderstorms, on the environment, including environmental-science research. It's crucial to recognize the role of science in understanding weather patterns and predicting their potential consequences.
