Unfavorable summer conditions predicted - Increased chances of rainfall - Persistent Rains Prevents Summer Conditions from Emerging
The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a forecast for Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia, predicting cool, rainy, and unsettled conditions with occasional thunderstorms for the weekend.
According to the detailed weather forecast, temperatures will be relatively low for summer, with maximum highs between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius. On Saturday, Saxony-Anhalt will reach about 20 degrees, while Saxony and Thuringia will remain a bit cooler, not surpassing this threshold.
Rain and clouds will dominate the weather in all three states throughout the weekend, with persistent rain and dense cloud cover. Isolated thunderstorms, some with gusts between 55 and 70 kilometers per hour, are possible in the afternoon.
The weather remains unsettled, with rain and localized thunderstorms alternating with dry intervals. There is no indication of improvement into the new week, which suggests continued cool and wet conditions.
According to wider regional warnings by the DWD, on Saturday, thunderstorms with heavy rain and wind – occasionally with storm-strength gusts – are expected to spread from the north and west toward central and southeastern Germany. While Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia are not mentioned explicitly for severe warnings, they fall into the broader area affected by these unstable weather patterns.
In summary, the weekend will be dominated by cool temperatures around 19–22°C, frequent rain, and occasional thunderstorms with moderate to strong wind gusts in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The new week also brings no change in weather, with rain and localized thunderstorms continuing to dominate the outlook. The forecast for Dresden, Magdeburg, and Erfurt extends into the new week.
The Commission, consulted on the draft directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, might find it necessary to provide safety guidelines to workers involved in weather-forecasting, given the increased potential for high-wind gusts and thunderstorms predicted in the forecast for Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. During the upcoming week, these workers would be working under the same cool, rainy, and unsettled conditions, requiring precautions against potential weather-related hazards.
