Be prepared to deal with some hefty rainfall—up to 20 liters per hour—and hailstones that could measure up to 2 centimeters in diameter. Brace yourself for gusts of wind blowing at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
Northern Baden-Württemberg? You're not entirely off the hook. Thunderstorms might visit, although they're not guaranteed.
As for Tuesday, it's looking a lot like Monday. The morning will stay dry, but keep an eye on the sky in the afternoon, as thunderstorms will start forming and heading towards Bavaria. But wait, there's more—the real storm comes on Wednesday, when the southwest is likely to see shower-like and heavy thunderstorms.

Thunderstorms, Baden-Württemberg, Southwest, DWD, Stuttgart, Swabian Alb—yup, those are all part of the forecast!
Insights: Recently, severe thunderstorms have been hitting southern Germany, causing large hail, strong winds, and heavy rainfall in Munich and Regensburg[2][3]. However, those storms were more pronounced in Bavaria and the Danube Plain[2][5]. For the next few days, despite the warnings issued by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), the focus isn't specifically on Baden-Württemberg[3]. As the weather remains unstable, scattered thunderstorms and showers are expected, but the intensity should decrease compared to the recent severe weather events[3]. For precise and up-to-date information, it's highly recommended to check forecasts provided by DWD or other local weather services.
Despite the current weather-forecasting predictions, the Commission has not been specifically consulted on the upcoming thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in southern Germany, specifically in regions like Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart, and the Swabian Alb. However, recent severe thunderstorms have caused significant damage in Germany, serving as a reminder of their unpredictable nature and the importance of preparedness.
