Forecast for Baden-Württemberg: Unsettled Weather Ahead
Baden-Württemberg residents should brace for a changeable and somewhat unpleasant weekend, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). The forecast for the next few days includes a continued risk of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms, with possible hail and strong gusts of wind.
Starting this Sunday (August 3, 2025), the weather may experience a break in clouds and a decrease in rainfall in some areas. However, the afternoon is predicted to be cloudy with showers and even thunderstorms in some parts. The wind will remain light, but may occasionally gust, especially in higher elevations.
Temperatures will rise, reaching up to 17°C on the Alb and up to 23°C by the Rhine. Tonight will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers across Baden-Württemberg. Lows will range between 14°C and 8°C.
On Monday, the weather will calm down, with rain and dense clouds passing in the morning, followed by increasing dryness and more frequent sunshine. The sun has a better chance at the start of the upcoming week. Temperatures will rise, reaching up to 26°C by the Rhine.
Tuesday may bring rain to the northern parts of Baden-Württemberg, while the south will have a clear sky. Stormy gusts are possible on the Black Forest peaks on Tuesday night. Temperatures will range from 16°C in the Allgäu to 22°C in the Upper Rhine Valley.
The DWD warns that southern Germany, including Baden-Württemberg, faces heavy rainfall up to 150 liters per square meter and severe thunderstorms mainly concentrated over the weekend, extending into the early week. Between the Black Forest and the Bavarian Forest, and especially south of the Danube, there is an increased risk of localized flooding and high water due to the persistent rain.
It is advisable to have an umbrella or rain jacket on hand while traveling in Baden-Württemberg this weekend. Caution is advised in southern parts due to the flooding risk. Keep an eye on the latest updates from the DWD for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the weather in Baden-Württemberg.
*Residents of Baden-Württemberg should stay updated with the weather-forecasting provided by the DWD, as other regions may experience a reprieve from the unsettled weather this Sunday, while the weekend is predicted to continue with heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds.
- Despite a potential decrease in rainfall in some areas after Sunday, it is essential to have an umbrella or rain jacket on hand for the rest of the weekend, as other parts of Baden-Württemberg may still experience showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon.
