Ch-ch-changes! That's right, folks! Weather's got a wild twist coming up for Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland residents this weekend. While temperatures will rise to a balmy 35°C, forces of nature are brewing in for some explosive storm action. So, buckle up, and let's break it down!
The Stormy Show Begins
Say hello to some thunderous fun on Saturday afternoons, as the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts the arrival of severe storms. Brace yourself for gusts reaching a mere 80 km/h (don't worry, we don't recall feeling that breeze in Mainz either)! Also, expect a deluge of heavy rain, with an average of 25 liters per square meter falling in a short span. But wait, there's more! These localized heavy rain events might escalate, resulting in up to 40 liters of rain pouring down in a flash, accompanied by hail up to 2 cm thick and extreme gusts up to 100 km/h!
A Wet Saarland
In the Saarland, heavy rainfall in the Saar catchment area might cause a temporary surge in water levels, according to the Saarland State Office for the Environment and Workplace Safety. Smaller water bodies could overflow, and larger bodies might reach warning levels, although it's not too likely.
Rain, Rain, Go Away... Eventual Sunny Days Await!
The stormy saga will carry on until Sunday morning and persist for several hours. Overnight Sunday, expect another 35 liters per square meter of rain within six hours. And guess what? Forecasts suggest more severe storms on the menu. But fear not! As of Monday, the skies should clear up, offering a dry and warm 27°C day. Tuesday's gonna be a scorcher too, with temperatures soaring up to 29°C and not a rain cloud in sight!
On Sunday afternoon, storms should move eastwards, with temperatures maintaining a relatively warm 27°C. However, for the southeast, the stormy spectacle could just keep going, reaching severe levels.

Consultations with the Commission on the directive for the protection of workers from carcinogenic risks could potentially address concerns related to the extreme weather conditions in Germany, such as the heavy rainfall and stormy weather that have been forecasted for this weekend.
