Thankfully, these storms will fizzle out in the evening, with clearer skies from the northwest taking over.
Temperatures will top out between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius, with highs of 18 degrees in higher altitudes. Be prepared for some strong gusts if thunderstorms roll in. After dark, skies will clear up, and Tuesday will welcome the sun. However, as the day goes on, expect some additional showers and isolated thunderstorms. Again, watch out for those storm gusts.
From Tuesday night into Wednesday, the clouds will start clumping together, and by the daybreak, scattered showers and whatnot are forecasted. Temperatures will take a dip, with lows of 15 to 11 degrees Celsius and eight degrees in the mountains.
On Wednesday, the weather remains a bit of a rollercoaster. In the southeast, anticipate more scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms with a downpour. The highest temperatures will hit up to 23 degrees Celsius along the Rhine and Mosel and 19 degrees in the mountains.
