Hot Weather Ahead: Thunderstorms Offer Temporary Relief - Baden-Württemberg's Sizzling Weekend
Here's the lowdown on the weather forecast for the weekend in sunny Baden-Württemberg: get ready for some heat, because temperatures are expected to soar to 36 degrees on the Rhine, thanks to a blast of warm air from our neighbors across the border in France. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns that many parts of the country will swelter, with cities and urban areas feeling the heat even at night. The south and west of Baden-Württemberg are especially in the hot seat, according to DWD.
So, what can you do to beat the heat? The meteorologists suggest staying well-hydrated, even if you're not feeling parched. Avoid direct sunlight, and think twice about engaging in physical activities during the day. The DWD also recommends keeping your home and body cool by any means necessary.
When can we expect some relief from the sweltering temperatures? Well, don't get too excited just yet: thunderstorms are only expected to roll in at night. On Thursday, we can expect a mixed bag of showers, gusty winds, and thunderstorms, with potential for severe weather and heavy rain in the Ostalb and around the Bodensee. But don't worry, temperatures will still peak at around 23 degrees in the mountains and a balmy 29 degrees in the Kraichgau.
The good news is that after a night of rain and thunderstorms, the skies should start to clear on Friday, clearing the way for a sunny day. In fact, the DWD predicts temperatures approaching the 30-degree mark on the Rhine, with Saturday looking like the perfect day for summer activities.
But hold on to your hats - the second-highest warning level for forest fires is still in effect for many parts of Baden-Württemberg. It's level four out of five, signifying "high risk." Several municipalities and districts have imposed bans on grilling and opening fireplaces in the forest due to the ongoing dry spell.
To sum it all up, the forecast for the weekend in Baden-Württemberg indicates mostly sunny skies, little precipitation, and high temperatures. Don't expect any cool-down from thunderstorms this weekend, as they're not in the forecast. And although fire danger may be slightly elevated due to dry and moderate conditions, it's not currently deemed severe. Keep hydrated, stay cool, and enjoy the sun, but remember to take precautions!
