Despite these intense showers, there were no significant signs of damage reported, as per police control centers. Earlier on Sunday, a severe storm had triggered a mudslide in the Weimar region, causing trees to fall and basements to flood.
As the storm front moves on, the mercury will start its ascent, with temperatures reaching a high of 23 degrees Celsius by Monday afternoon, as foreseen by the German Weather Service (DWD).
