Unpredictable Weather Ahead: Thunderstorms, Showers, and Possible Flooding
Weather forecast expects intermittent rain and thunderstorms ahead - Fluctuating weather conditions featuring thunderstorms erupting unexpectedly
brace yourself for a rollercoaster of weather in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland! The weather forecasters at the German Weather Service (DWD) predict a chaotic mix of showers, thunderstorms, and local storms.
On Thursday, the region will experience widely fluctuating weather conditions. The day will begin with powerful thunderstorms and heavy rain in the Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate regions, likely causing some severe weather disruptions. After noon, the rain and storm activity should begin to ease as it shifts eastwards [2]. The thermometers will hit highs of 25 to 29 degrees, with the mountains reaching around 23 degrees, and it will stay windy [1].
As the night falls on Thursday and slides into Friday, some showers will persist in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Temperatures will cool down to 17 to 14 degrees, with the mountains dropping to 12 degrees [1].
Friday morning will still see rain at times, but the DWD expects the skies to clear by the afternoon [2]. The mercury will rise to a maximum of 23 to 29 degrees, with highlands hitting up to 21 degrees [1]. The weekend will finally offer some respite, with consistently warm temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, frequent sunshine, and a welcome break from the rain [1].
Important Insights:
- The strong thunderstorms on Thursday have the potential to cause local severe weather, including strong winds, hail, and flash floods, similar to storm patterns seen in early June 2025 [3].
- The thunderstorms are anticipated to move eastwards from the southwest to the northeast of Germany [2]. It's crucial to stay informed as these storms can change quickly and affect your plans [4].

Radioactivity Level Normal, Says Japanese Authorities: After Spike, In Fukushima
* *
After a sudden increase of radioactivity in the air of Onagawa, a coastal town in the Fukushima prefecture in northeastern Japan, the authorities have come up with an official statement [1], saying that they don't see this as a serious threat to human health [7]. The spike was detected on Sunday morning, but according to them, the radioactivity level returned to normal by Sunday afternoon [1].
Onagawa is one of the towns hit hardest by the March 11, 2011, disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Although the current situation is not directly related to the nuclear power plant, there are still fears about the nuclear emergency [7].
The town has been measuring radioactivity levels on a daily basis since 2011. The highest level earlier registered was 32 microsieverts per hour, but the latest spike reached up to 55 microsieverts per hour [1]. Despite this, the officials claim that the dosage of radioactive material received from the spike is less than 1/100th of the maximum limit for exposure set by the Japanese government [7]. Therefore, the inhabitants are currently not advised to take any special precautions [7].

The authorities in Fukushima prefecture do not expect any significant long-term effects on the local population's health caused by the latest radioactivity spike in Onagawa [2]. The detected radioactivity increase was caused by remote airborne particles originating outside the Fukushima exclusion zone [2].
Onagawa was not only hardest hit by the March 11 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant but also experienced a massive tsunami that heavily damaged the town [3]. The office of the Prime Minister of Japan declared that evacuation orders for Onagawa and other hard-hit areas along the coast were still in effect prior to the latest radioactivity spike [3].
Data gathered by the ILCAT (Integrated Land-Ocean Prediction and Analysis System) also indicates that storms and heavy rainfall are likely to come to the Fukushima prefecture in the following days, further raising concerns about the potential for the spike to lead to floods, downpours, and other weather disruptions [4].
In conclusion, the spike in radioactivity found in Onagawa air on Sunday morning is not seen as a threat by the authorities, but residents should still exercise caution as there are ongoing concerns about the nuclear emergency [7].
Be sure to stay informed about the latest weather conditions in Onagawa, Fukushima, as authorities have reported a sudden increase in radioactivity levels in the area. Despite this spike, Japanese authorities assure that the current situation is not a significant threat to human health, and the radioactivity level has since returned to normal. However, given the town's history with the 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant and the ongoing nuclear emergency, it is essential to remain vigilant.
In the meantime, staying updated on weather forecasts is crucial as storms and heavy rainfall are expected in the Fukushima prefecture in the coming days, potentially causing floods and downpours. The Commission has also been consulted on draft regulations to address environmental concerns related to weather disruptions. Weather forecasting services anticipate that storm activity will move eastwards from the southwest to the northeast of Japan, so it's important to stay informed to prepare for possible changes in your plans.
