Gear up for a mix of unpredictable weather!
After a rollercoaster weekend, Northern Germany is gearing up for a shift towards calmer, yet changeable weather in the upcoming days. As per the German Weather Service (DWD), a more comfortable weather pattern should take hold across much of the North from Tuesday. The DWD has even gone as far as to predict a heatwave in Lower Saxony by the weekend.
Today will be a turbulent day, with high clouds and showers making an appearance in many places. Expect a mix of sun and stormy weather, especially in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. These regions might witness some serious thunderstorms armed with strong gusts and heavy rain. Be cautious, as there is a risk of severe weather near these storms. Temperatures will ease between 21 and 24 degrees, with the North Sea islands hovering at around 19 degrees. The severe thunderstorms will slowly drift eastwards in the evening, allowing for a quieter night with temperatures between 12 and 14 degrees.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will start the day under a warm, sunny sky but dark clouds will gather in the afternoon, leading to intense thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds. Our local weather watchdog gives a heads-up about the potential for severe weather in certain areas. Temperatures will rise between 23 and 29 degrees, with the highest temperatures in the southeast. These storms will follow suit and move eastwards at night, setting the stage for cooler temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees.
Lower Saxony and Bremen are also in the line of fire for thunderstorms. Sources suggest that temperatures can reach 26 degrees at the border with Saxony-Anhalt, with the rest of the state hovering around 23 degrees and the islands at around 20 degrees. Most places will see a clearing sky at night, with temperatures between 11 and 14 degrees.
Monday will usher in an improvement in all three regions, with Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein experiencing partly cloudy skies and occasional rain. Temperatures will range from 17 degrees on the islands to 22 degrees inland. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will remain relatively dry with temperatures hitting 19 to 23 degrees during the day and clearing skies at times. Lower Saxony and Bremen will be dry as well, with highs between 21 and 24 degrees.
Brace yourself for an uplift in sunshine on Tuesday across all regions. Expect highs in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein to range from 19 degrees on Sylt to 25 degrees in Hamburg. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, look forward to a dry forecast with temperatures between 20 and 24 degrees. Lower Saxony and Bremen will see warm temperatures reaching 24-27 degrees, with the islands experiencing around 20 degrees.
