Thunderstorms Mar Thuringia's First Summer Day
Initial day of summer in Thuringia followed by a sudden thunderstorm. - Stormy weather shift in Thuringia: From serene summer to thunderous downpours
Get ready for a rollercoaster weather ride in Thuringia this weekend! After a scorching summer day on Saturday, expect a wild shift on Sunday, as storm-like thunderstorms with showers take center stage, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
Saturday promises plenty of sunshine across Thuringia with temperatures soaring between 30-34°C in lowlands and 27-30°C in the mountainous regions, like Erfurt. However, the party won't last into the night, as Saturday will end with a clear, dry sky and cooler temperatures of 19-14°C. The northern borders of Thuringia may see some thunderstorm activity with Hesse and Lower Saxony amid the clear skies.
On Sunday, the day begins sunny with a warm-up to 24-29°C in lowlands and 22-25°C in the mountainous regions. But watch out! The scorching sun won't be around for long, as showers and potentially severe thunderstorms march in from the west, starting in the morning. Alongside the thunderstorms comes the potential for hail.
By Sunday evening, the storms dissipate and temperatures lower to 14-10°C, as the week starts off mainly dry with warmer highs of 21-24°C in lowlands and 19-21°C in the mountains.
Thuringia's temperamental weather is characterized by marked differences in temperature between the lowlands and the mountainous regions. Expect the lowlands to enjoy milder temperatures, while the mountains may cool down significantly due to altitude effects, with the potential for more pronounced precipitation and thunderstorm activity.
Be sure to consult local weather services for the most accurate and detailed forecast, but be prepared for unpredictable thunderstorms and cooler temperatures in the mountains compared to the lowlands on Sunday in Thuringia.
The Commission's consultation on the draft directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation might be affected by the sudden weather changes, particularly the occurrence of thunderstorms in Thuringia during the weekend, as forecasted by the German Weather Service. Additionally, weather-forecasting agencies will need to accurately predict the stormy weather in Thuringia to ensure the safety of workers handling ionizing radiation.
