Summer weekend spoiled by heavy rain and thunderstorms
Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is set to experience a mix of warm temperatures and occasional rain showers over the next few days, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
Starting Monday, the region will see passing rain and dense clouds, but it is expected to become increasingly dry later in the day. An umbrella or rain jacket may still be needed for the start of the day, as rain may ease but not completely stop. Temperatures are expected to reach up to 26°C by the Rhine.
The weather on Tuesday will be more variable, with clear skies in the south and rain in the north. Travelers should remain weather-flexible for both Monday and Tuesday, as no specific information about the potential for severe weather events beyond thunderstorms has been provided.
Tonight, Baden-Württemberg is expected to be mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Stormy gusts are possible on the Black Forest peaks on Tuesday night. On the other hand, the sun is forecast to break through more often on Monday.
For those traveling to Ettlingen, daytime highs will reach up to 30°C on several days this week, with lows down to around 10°C on August 6 and 10. Rain is forecast for some of these days, which suggests a chance of thunderstorms. In the Black Forest area, temperatures range from lows around 7-11°C to highs between 21-32°C, with winds around 3 to 10 mph mostly from the southwest.
In Karlsruhe, August daytime highs are generally around 26-27°C, with lows dropping to near 14°C by the end of the month. Wiesloch, near Mannheim, has similar forecasts with temperatures from lows in the high 50s°F to highs in the mid to upper 70s or 80s°F, with winds up to 12 mph from the west and some passing clouds expected.
Travelers should be prepared for light to moderate winds during this period, with the wind in Baden-Württemberg remaining light but occasionally gusting. The DWD has not specified any significant changes in weather for the rest of the evening or made any predictions about the sun's chances for the rest of the weekend.
In summary, expect warm summer days with occasional showers and thunderstorms scattered throughout the next two weeks, along with light to moderate winds. The risk of thunderstorms appears higher on certain days with rain, especially around August 8-11 and mid-August. It's always a good idea to stay weather-flexible and have an umbrella or rain jacket on hand for the rest of the weekend in Baden-Württemberg.
