Rhineland-Palatinate Braces for Hot Summer Weather and Intermittent Rain
Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is set to experience a warm and sunny two-week period, with temperatures ranging between 18°C and 29°C, according to the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach.
Daily highs will mostly be in the range of 22°C to 29°C, peaking around 28-29°C on some days like August 19-20. Nighttime lows are expected to be between around 9°C to 17°C, depending on the day and location. Kaiserslautern, for instance, shows highs reaching up to 36°C on some days (Aug 13-15), but this seems to be a local spike amid an otherwise milder pattern.
The region can expect approximately 12 to 13 rain days over the next 30 days, so intermittent rainfall is anticipated over the next two weeks. Rain is often scattered, not constant, with some dry days mixed in. No snow is forecasted during this period.
Regional variations exist, with Mendig and Mainz forecasts broadly aligning, showing mild to warm days with the possibility of rain roughly every 2-3 days. Koblenz-Moselweiß data indicates temperatures around 23-31°C in coming weeks, with some warm spells toward early September.
The DWD reports that Rhineland-Palatinate will experience warm temperatures due to high pressure, with initially warm Atlantic air being brought to the region under this pressure. The weather service predicts a shift from warm Atlantic air to hot subtropical air in the coming days, with increasingly hot subtropical air present in the region.
In light of the rising temperatures, the German Weather Service recommends staying hydrated, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using sun protection when outdoors. On Wednesday, temperatures in Rhineland-Palatinate will climb to 33 to 37 degrees Celsius. The DWD also predicts that Rhineland-Palatinate's temperatures will continue to rise in the coming days.
Subtropical air is expected to bring higher temperatures to Rhineland-Palatinate in the near future, with isolated showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain possible in the west and mountainous regions of the state in the afternoons of both Tuesday and Thursday. It is advisable to monitor daily updates during this period for more precise planning, as the exact rainfall timing and intensity will vary by locality.
