Saturday Brings Extreme Weather Threat Across Germany
As residents of Germany enjoy a sunny Friday, the impending weather for this weekend calls for caution. The weather forecast points to a shift from pleasant to potentially dangerous conditions on Saturday.
Extremely hot and potentially hazardous weather is predicted for the weekend in Germany. The weekend's air will be humid, with gusts of wind locally. The weather service anticipates series of heavy thunderstorms.
Meteorologist Jan Schenk of weather.com advises, "Beware, the weather patterns could allow for supercells to form."
Heat Waves Expected in Western and Southern Regions
Temperatures in western and southwest regions might reach 30°C on Saturday. By the afternoon, heavy heat thunderstorms are expected primarily between Saarbrücken and Frankfurt, as well as in the north of Baden-Württemberg.
Meteorologists are predicting multiple thunderstorm cells—severe weather events consisting of several cells aligning both temporally and spatially, with the potential for supercells, the largest and most dangerous thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms Moving from West to East
According to the German Weather Service (DWD), heavy rainfall of up to 30 liters per square meter, hailstones reaching 3 cm in diameter, and winds of up to 75 km/h could occur. The storms will continue through Hesse and Franconia, moving towards the east during the evening.
Eastern Regions Also Brace for Severe Conditions
"Tornado risk is heightened between 16 and 18 o'clock in areas including Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and Leipzig," warns weather.com. Locally, up to 40 liters per square meter with flooding and 100 km/h winds are possible, with the DWD also predicting these conditions for North Rhine-Westphalia. The probability of thunderstorms decreases towards the north.
Thunderstorm activity may continue to move into Germany from France on Saturday evening. By Sunday, deterioration in the weather is expected in all areas. The west will remain cloudy, with further showers and thunderstorms in the west, while the east continues to experience severe conditions. Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and the southern part of Brandenburg are expected to be hit with heavy rain, hail, and gusts reaching 28°C locally. The start of the week will then bring cooler and wetter conditions.
