Intermittent Rain Followed by Warm, Sunny Days
Ready for a sweltering weekend in Germany? Here's the lowdown:
Germany's weather forecast is sizzling! Today, temperatures soar up to 29°C, as predicted by the German Weather Service (DWD), with the southwest feeling the heat the most. Unluckily, rain continues to sweep across the country, bringing thunderstorms to the east and southeast.
In the north, the last day before the weekend's cooler, with highs of 19-24°C. However, rain rolls in from the west in the morning and stays until mid-afternoon, with scattered thunderstorms popping up in Saxony and southern Bavaria. On the bright side, rain-soaked Berlin and Brandenburg can breathe a sigh of relief – the storms that knocked down trees and hurt several individuals on Thursday seem to be easing up.
The weekend's looking pretty promising! In the south, temperatures could hit 34°C on Saturday. The sunny skies should stick around longer, too. In the north, it'll stay cloudy with occasional showers, but temperatures will rise, too, up to 26°C. As for Sunday, it'll be more of the same: 35°C in the southwest and 29°C in the north.
The heat doesn't seem to be going anywhere; temperatures will keep rising even beyond the weekend, with coastal regions expecting a scorching 30°C by Tuesday. The peak of this heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 35°C, could happen on Wednesday. Even at night, temperatures in cities won't drop below 20°C.
Now, onto some bonus weather info! Freiburg in Southwest Germany has been enjoying a hot and dry spell recently, with temperatures hitting around 29°C without any rain. Meanwhile, rain and thunderstorms are possible in Berlin and Brandenburg from midday to about 4 p.m. on June 28, with gusts up to 70 km/h, heavy rain, hail, and increased lightning risk. But don't worry, things are expected to improve by Thursday.
So, grab your sunscreen, Germany! The heatwave's here, and it's not going anywhere soon. Just remember to stay safe and mind the weather reports!
More heat is forecasted for the weekend in Germany, with temperatures potentially reaching 35°C in some regions. Despite the sunny skies in the south, rain showers can still be expected in the north, especially in Saxony and southern Bavaria.
