Stormy Start for Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland: Brace for Heavy Thunderstorms
Heavy downpours and loud claps of thunder expected in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland - Heavy downpours and thunderstorms forecasted for Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland
Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland are in for a rainy and stormy beginning to the week. Don't let the sun-kissed mornings fool you – the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts scattered showers and some potent thunderstorms around Westerwald to Pfalz. If you're in the southeastern part, brace yourself for intense thunderstorms, especially as night falls.
On Monday, temperatures will hover between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius, with the warmer regions hitting 24 degrees Celsius. However, beware of the stormy gusts these thunderstorms could bring. By evening, the storms will clear, making way for a mild improvement from the northwest.
Tuesday brings another round of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will reach up to 22 to 26 degrees Celsius, even reaching storm-force gusts in some thunderstorms. Clear skies will return overnight into Wednesday, but you may want to keep an umbrella handy – scattered showers, often with thunder, are expected in the afternoon. Keep an eye on the thermometer, too – maximum temperatures will hit 22 to 26 degrees Celsius.
The clouds thicken as Wednesday arrives, with showery conditions expected, especially in the southeast. Rainfall could be heavy, and thunderstorms may continue to make an appearance. If you're close to the Rhine or Mosel, the temperatures will climb to 23 degrees Celsius, while those in the mountains can expect a cooler 19 degrees Celsius.
