Weather Update for Thuringia: Thunderstorms and Rain on the Horizon
Thuringia's Weather: Current Respite from Stormy Conditions - Thunderstorms set to subside in Thuringia
Thuringia is bracing for some wet and stormy conditions in the coming days. Overnight, intense storms dumped up to 20 liters of rain per square meter in certain areas, but fortunately, there was minimal damage reported by local police control centers.
Sunday saw a heavy storm that resulted in a mudslide in the Weimar region, causing trees to topple and basements to flood. However, the storm front is expected to move on, allowing temperatures to climb to a balmy 23 degrees Celsius on Monday, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
Despite the brief respite, rain and occasional thunderstorms will return from midday Monday, with isolated thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and evening. These thunderstorm cells will gradually move away overnight to Tuesday.
As we move into the middle of the week, the region may see additional showers, but it's expected to remain mainly dry in Thuringia on Tuesday. Temperatures are predicted to soar to a summer-like 25 degrees Celsius.
Thunderstorms and Rain: Exploring Thuringia
Thuringia lies within a region that has been expected to experience unsettled weather over the past few days. A front stretching from Baden-Württemberg and Hesse through Thuringia and into Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern brings rain and the potential for thunderstorms.
Erfurt, the capital city of Thuringia, is likely to experience partly cloudy to overcast skies with a chance of showers. On Friday and throughout the weekend, periods of rain are expected, with a high temperature of approximately 18-20°C (64-68°F). Scattered thunderstorms are possible, but the risk of severe weather is elevated in southern Germany, not as much in Thuringia.
Suhl, a tourist destination in Thuringia, can anticipate overcast skies with light rain or showers on Friday and throughout the weekend, while Ilmenau, another city in Thuringia, will be partly cloudy, with a high near 19°C (66°F) and a low around 13°C (55°F). Light showers are possible, and the thunderstorm risk is similar to that in Erfurt.
