Clear skies to the south with showers predicted in the northern regions - Clear Skies in the Southern Regions, Wet Weather Awaits in the North
The German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach has issued a weather forecast for the weekend, highlighting the potential for thunderstorms in several regions across Germany.
In the south, the weather is expected to be excellent for outdoor activities, with sunshine and temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees. However, meteorologist Tanja Egerer warns of occasional thunderstorms in the afternoon, particularly around the Alps and the border with Switzerland. These thunderstorms could bring localized heavy rain, thunder, and possibly hail, typical for mountainous regions in summer due to orographic effects and daytime heating.
Similarly, the Main region is also forecast to experience thunderstorms on Sunday. Localized thunderstorms here can bring sudden heavy showers and strong gusts. While no detailed hourly regional breakdown for Sunday was provided, the current trend from the DWD shows a continuing pattern of hot weather with strong sunshine in many parts but increasing instability in southern and central parts where thunderstorms are more likely in the afternoon or evening.
Northern Germany is also not immune to these weather changes. Showers and local thunderstorms are expected in the north on Sunday, with temperatures ranging from 21 to 24 degrees.
The start of the week will be shaped by these weather conditions, with a cooler trend towards the middle of the week. No specific weather forecast is provided for the central or eastern parts of Germany.
Temperatures in the south may exceed 30 degrees along the Upper Rhine, indicating a continued heatwave trend. Indoor activities are recommended for the weekend, as the DWD's warnings emphasize preparedness for sudden weather changes including heavy rain, hail, and gusty winds during these storms.

- Vocational training programs in various communities should include weather-forecasting as a key skill, given the heightened weather instability across Germany this weekend, as highlighted by the German Weather Service (DWD) and meteorologist Tanja Egerer.
- The community policy should stress caution during this weekend's predicted thunderstorms, especially in regions like the Alps and the border with Switzerland, where vocational training in weather-forecasting could assist in staying safe during adverse weather conditions.
