Intense thunderstorms packing hurricane-strength winds, excessive rainfall, and hail storms forewarned by DWD
Chatty Weather Update: Severe Storm Threat in Berlin and Brandenburg
Looks like our beloved cities of Berlin and Brandenburg are in for a wild ride! On Thursday, expect showers, thunderstorms, and even some severe weather - yikes!
Thursday's Forecast:Started off sunny and promise-filled, but as the day progresses, the sky's becoming a bit ominous. Midday showers have already made an appearance, and it seems like thunderstorms will be tearing up the scene from late afternoon.
The German Weather Service (DWD) has even issued a "preliminary warning for severe thunderstorms" between 5 PM and 9 PM, so keep your eyes peeled for mother nature's fury!
Severe Thunderstorms Ahead:Remember those old warning signs about scattered severe thunderstorms? Well, they're more than just a childhood memory for Thursday afternoon. Isolated thunderstorms could pop up, packing a punch with local gusts of up to 110 km/h (68 mph)! Heavy rain, reaching up to 30 liters per square meter in an hour, and hail up to 2 cm (0.8 in) are also possible[2]. The main worry here is the gusts, which might lead to some extra tree and branch damage due to fully-leafed trees[2].
Apple Weather and wetter.online are spreading the word about the incoming severe weather, with Apple mentioning an "extreme thunderstorm warning" and wetter.online warning of a "severe thunderstorm with potential for severe weather."
High temperatures on Thursday will range between 27°C in North Brandenburg and a sizzling 32°C in the Cottbus area.
Nighttime Shower Showdown:From Thursday night to Friday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will make their way across the area before moving eastward later in the night. Lowest temperatures between 19°C and 16°C, and a light to moderate southwesterly to westerly wind will keep things moving.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday:Friday will bring partly to mostly cloudy skies with occasional light showers. By evening, the skies will clear up, and no more rain is expected. Temperatures will reach between 21°C and 24°C.
In the night from Friday to Saturday, expect cloudy to mostly clear skies with no further rain and a cooling down to 14°C to 11°C.
On Saturday, it'll be cloudy with clear skies in the Niederlausitz, and there's a small chance of rain in the northeast of Brandenburg. Temperatures will rise to 26°C to 30°C.
