Extreme Temperature Switch in Thuringia: From Scorching Heat to Sudden Storms!
Hey there! Summer's finally heating up in Thuringia, ain't it a delight? But don't get too comfortable, 'cause a storm's brewin' this weekend, chum!
Here's the lowdown, straight from the horse's mouth, Kathy Schrey of "Wetter.net." She ain't sugarcoating it; she's warnin' us that the weather situation remains critical for the weekend ahead.
Brace Yourself for Stormy Weather in Thuringia
Yep, you heard it right—a storm front's on its way from the west, and it ain't gonna be no picnic. Fortunately, we shouldn't see much of it in the Free State at the start of the weekend. But don't let your guard down just yet! According to the German Weather Service, we're lookin' at peak temperatures of 30 to 33 degrees Celsius on Saturday (14th June). Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, 'cause things are gonna take a turn for the worse.
Saturday night's the night you gotta watch out for. Cloud fields are gonna roll in from the west, bringin' in lots of energy. By Sunday, those cloud fields could discharge over us, and I'm talkin' 'bout heavy showers and thunderstorms! The DWD's even predictin' "thunderstorm-like heavy rain" in some areas.
Heavy Thunderstorms Ahead
Several weather models agree that we're gonna see some heavy thunderstorms this weekend. Now, the GFS model from the good ol' U.S.A. tends to be a bit pessimistic, but it suggests the thunderstorms could start as early as Saturday in West Thuringia. The ICON model, on the other hand, ain't holdin' back, sayin', "There's no harmlessness to be seen." Even the German Weather Model places the storm front a bit further west on Saturday.
"This is a serious weather situation," Schrey warns. "These are heavy thunderstorms, thunderstorms of a storm-like nature."
At least the weather should settle down a bit starting from next week, with peak temperatures dippin' below the 30-degree mark. So hang in there, folks, and remember to check the forecast regularly for the latest updates on the storm situation.
Good luck and stay safe out there, mates!
Prepare for the upcoming stormy weather in Thuringia, as a storm front approaches from the west according to Kathy Schrey of "Wetter.net." The German Weather Service predicts heavy thunderstorms later this weekend, particularly on Saturday night, which could bring heavy showers and thunderstorms to the region.
