Initial Cold Summer: Showers, Thunderstorms, and Hail During Pentecost
Headline: Wet & Stormy Weekend Ahead! Splash Down Your Plans for Pentecost - Cloudbursts Spoil Summer Fun
Soak Up These Weather Scoops! Keep an eye on your weather apps, folks! With storm clouds brewing, we're in for a soggy Pentecost weekend across the country. But don't worry, sunshine and heat are on their way after the holiday, making up for the dank and dreary weather.
The Lowdown on Our Stormy Situation Stormy weather has already slashed through the southeastern parts of Germany on Wednesday, with heavy thunderstorms and hailstorms pounding Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria[4]. This wasn't just a one-off event – it was part of a widespread severe weather outbreak across Europe[1][2].
Fun Fact: The term "severe weather" can mean any type of weather that poses a significant threat to public safety or property, such as thunderstorms with large hail, flash flooding, strong winds, and tornadoes.
The Forecast: Expect a Damp Holiday Weekend! With an unsettled atmosphere ahead, expect occasional showers galore and even isolated thunderstorms to pop up all over the country. It'll be a bit chilly, too, but fear not! As Pentecost Monday approaches, the weather promises to perk up.
Here's the weekend forecast:
- Friday: Let's face it, it's gonna be a rough start to the weekend. Clouds are taking over the skies, creating a moody backdrop for showers and maybe a few thunderstorms. The southeast region'll bask in 26°C heat, but the rest of the country won't be so fortunate – temperatures will range from 17°C to 24°C. It'll be breezy and uncomfortable, too.
- Saturday: Premium, sun-drenched days are the last thing on your mind over the weekend. Saturday will be a weak reminder of summer, with grey skies, lots of wetness (and maybe a few thunderstorms), and temperatures ranging from 16°C to 22°C – that's if you're lucky enough to be in the southeast! Elsewhere, expect 17°C to 24°C temperatures. On the bright side, the wind will pick up on Saturday, making it a bit more uncomfortable and gusty than other days.
- Sunday: Soak in a byte of misery – rain clouds are in full force, and thunderstorms can rear their heads again. On Sunday, the wind will kick up even more, reaching gale-force levels in mountainous regions and along the coast. Rain will be so relentless at the Alps that you might mistake it for last Wednesday's storm. But let's put things in perspective – there's no major severe weather threat across the country this weekend.
Future Forecast: Sunny days and summer-worthy temps will be back as soon as Pentecost Monday arrives! High pressure will roll in, brightening up the south while pushing rain clouds north. Temperatures will gradually rise, starting the week at 16°C to 22°C – but there's a possibility we could see 30°C temperatures by the end of the week!
Stay safe, stay dry, and keep an eye on the horizon for sunshine headed your way!
