Chillin': Germany's Weather Post-Storm - Winds Mellowing Down, Heat Waves Continue
Germany Experiences a Calm; Persistent Windiness Persists - German Weather Settles Down, Remains Windy
No more howling winds and torrential downpours, ‘cause Germany's weather's calming down! After yesterday's stormy mess in the Northeast, things are easing off, yet it ain't gonna be dead calm. Germany's meteorological service, DWD, predicts Tuesday to stay breezy, but not hurricane-strength, thank goodness. In the northern and southern parts of the country, there might be a few isolated squalls. Don't worry, though, the warm weather's staying put in many places!
Yesterday, winds reached up to 108 kilometers per hour in Berlin—that's wind strength 11, which is almost hurricane-force! Over in the Northeast, those winds knocked down trees left, right, and center, and caused some major rail disruptions.
Tuesday won't be as gusty. The DWD forecasts windstorms at the North and Baltic Seas, reaching up to 85 kilometers per hour. It might also be stormy in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The Northeast, though, will see a noticeable decrease in wind speeds compared to Monday, with speeds maxing out at 60 kilometers per hour.
Cloudy North, Sunny South
The North'll stay cloudy with some rain showers here and there, and there's a chance for storm gusts along the coasts. It'll still be comfy, with temperatures between 20 and 24°C. In the South, it's gonna be a scorcher: daytime temperatures could reach up to 31°C, with sunshine beaming down!
On Wednesday, the DWD expects thundershowers in the South in the evening. The sizzling heat will be moving towards the coasts. In the North, a high of 27°C is possible. Temperatures could even climb to 35°C in the Upper Rhine region.
By the end of the week, things'll generally simmer down. The North'll have more clouds than the South. According to the weather service, it'll be warm, but the heat waves'll keep on blazing in the South. Meteorologists predict clear to sunny skies with very warm to hot temperatures.
[1] Abnormal warmth has been observed expanding into Germany, with temperatures up to 5°C above normal recently noted.
[2] Earlier in June, temperatures ranged from lows of 8-11°C to highs of 26-30°C, so a continuation of warm conditions is expected.
[3] Specific wind speed forecasts for the rest of the week are not detailed in the available data; however, the previous storm included strong gales up to 100 km/h in parts of Europe including bordering regions. Post-storm conditions likely include moderate winds as the weather stabilizes.
[4] While the storm brought heavy rain and hail to neighboring countries, forecasts indicate that rain will mostly be localized, with some regions near the German border possibly experiencing sporadic showers. The overall weather pattern may include intervals of sunshine interspersed with occasional rain.
In short, after the storm, Germany is expected to experience warmer than average temperatures, generally moderate wind conditions, and occasional scattered showers, mainly near border areas during the week ahead.
In the wake of the recent storm, Germany is expected to experience a decrease in wind speeds but retain breezy conditions, particularly in the Northeast, reaching up to 85 kilometers per hour at the North and Baltic Seas. The weather service, DWD, predicts warm weather to continue, with temperatures up to 35°C in the Upper Rhine region by midweek. However, while bordering countries may have experienced heavy rain and hail, Germany's forecast indicates mostly localized showers, with intervals of sunshine interspersed.
