Stormy Start to the Southwest Week - Thunderstorm Alert for Baden-Württemberg!
torrential downpours anticipated in the early days of the week, with further wet weather expected in the ensuing days. - Stormy weather expected at the start of the week, with more precipitation to follow in the coming days.
Get ready for some wild weather, folks! Thunderstorms could be unleashing their fury across southwest Germany, starting as early as Monday, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). Determining the exact locations is tricky, said a DWD meteorologist— "It could drench one town while leaving the next bone dry."
Looking at Monday, expect the most action in central Baden-Württemberg and the Stuttgart area from midday, moving towards the Swabian Alb and then south towards Danube and the Allgäu in the evening. Heavy rain with over 20 liters per hour, hailstones up to 2cm in diameter, and gale-force winds up to 60 km/h are all on the menu.
In the north, risk of thunderstorms in Baden-Württemberg is significantly lower on Monday, but it's not zero, so keep your umbrellas at the ready.
Tuesday will follow a similar dance—mind the afternoon showers, which could move into Bavaria. But hold onto your hats, folks—the thunderstorm peak in the southwest is secured for Wednesday! "Expect showers and the potential for heavy thunderstorms," as the meteorologist puts it.
Ground temperatures on Monday are projected to chill at 17°C in the mountains and sizzle at 24°C in the Palatinate, according to the DWD. In the upcoming days, we're looking at temperature swings between 17 and 25°C, with mostly gray skies overhead. The Feldberg isn't expecting any immune boosters, as stormy gusts are forecast.
