Raging Thunderstorms with Heavy Rain - Severe Weather Warning in NRW

Intense Thunderstorms with Hefty Downpours - Alert Issued for North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) - Severe weather alert issued for heavy rain and thunderstorms in North Rhine-Westphalia region.

Get your raincoats ready, folks! The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a serious weather alert for the southern part of NRW. They're predicting stormy business with a strong chance of thunderstorms packing a punch. Until after 6 PM, these areas might experience intense rainfall of up to 40 liters per square meter per hour, plus gusts reaching 100 kilometers per hour. And, oh boy, don't forget the potential hailstones, with sizes reaching up to three centimeters!

Now, things aren't quite as severe in the north of NRW, but thunderstorms are still a possibility. As the sun sets, the stormy skies should clear, but hold onto your hats: the DWD forecast suggests thunderstorms will make a comeback in the night and continue into Sunday. We're talking multi-hour downpours, with possible severe weather conditions, so keep an eye on the skies! After Sunday morning, the thunderstorms are expected to head eastwards.
