Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms lashing North Rhine-Westphalia region - Heavy downpours and thunderstorms sweep across North Rhine-Westphalia region.
The coming days in North Rhine-Westphalia are set to be a mix of clouds, showers, and thunderstorms, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
On Tuesday, July 16, rain is expected with a likelihood of thunderstorms. The weather conditions will be generally overcast, contributing to the potential for storms. Temperatures will range from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius.
The following day, Wednesday, July 17, there is still a chance of rain, although the probability of thunderstorms seems to decrease. The sky will be mostly cloudy, but without the heavy storm conditions expected earlier in the week. Temperatures will range between 15 and 21 degrees Celsius.
Thursday, July 18, is forecast to bring mostly cloudy skies without significant precipitation, marking a slight improvement in weather conditions.
Looking ahead, the weather is expected to clear after July 18, with a forecast of a clear sky and few clouds on Friday, July 19.
The presence of thunderstorms is typically associated with warm and unstable air masses, which can lead to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds. Given the heatwave conditions in parts of Germany, the weather is expected to cool down slightly with the onset of rain and thunderstorms.
The DWD monitors weather conditions closely, especially during heatwaves and storm events, to provide timely warnings and forecasts.
It is important to note that while Düsseldorf shows rain and potential thunderstorms, other parts of North Rhine-Westphalia might experience slightly different conditions depending on their geographical location and local weather patterns.
On Wednesday, only occasional sunshine is expected, and the weather will continue to feature gusty winds. On Wednesday night, North Rhine-Westphalia is expected to remain unsettled.
On Thursday, the DWD predicts that it will become friendlier and warmer during the day in North Rhine-Westphalia. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is advisable to consult the official DWD website or local weather services for specific forecasts tailored to different regions within North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Commission may find it relevant to consider the impact of the expected thunderstorms and heavy rain in the new rules on the protection of the environment, given their potential to cause water and soil pollution. Additionally, the meteorological conditions in North Rhine-Westphalia, such as storm events, are closely monitored by the German Weather Service to ensure the accurate prediction and timelywarning of possible weather-forecasting-related incidents.
