Weekend weather escalation
After a prolonged heatwave that saw temperatures soaring to the mid-30s and even reaching the high 30s in certain regions of Germany, the weather is expected to transition in the coming days. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), this change is due to a duel of pressure systems, ensuring the country's summer weather remains unpredictable.
In the coming days, daytime temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 30s, with a gradual decrease as the heat dome weakens. Evening temperatures could drop to around 17-18°C. On Friday, widespread summer temperatures of more than 25°C are expected, with temperatures of up to 30°C possible along the Rhine. However, by the weekend, temperatures will drop slightly, with only the east enjoying longer periods of sunshine.
As the heat dome weakens and a frontal wave emerges from the North Atlantic, there is an increased risk of thunderstorms due to the strong temperature contrast. While specific thunderstorm forecasts for Germany are not detailed, the region could experience similar conditions if the weather pattern extends eastward. In the night, thunderstorms are expected to move from the south and southwest to the center of Germany, with the northeast and east mostly remaining dry. Locally, severe weather is also possible.
The usual Sunday walk may not be so pleasant in the other regions, as the weather will become more humid and oppressive, allowing for strong or even individual severe thunderstorms. On Saturday, mostly beautiful summer weather prevails during the day, but in the north, fog or high fog can also form. On Sunday, only the east can enjoy longer periods of dry weather.
The changeable weather character will continue into the following week. While temperatures are expected to drop, next week could see temperatures of 40°C or more for several days in the southern regions of the Mediterranean Sea. Along the coast, it will be slightly cooler with around 23°C.
In conclusion, Germany can expect a transition from high temperatures to more moderate conditions, with a potential for thunderstorms as the weather system evolves. It is advised to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during severe weather conditions.
The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts a decrease in daytime temperatures in the coming days as the heat dome weakens, but evening temperatures might remain cool with a low of around 17-18°C. Furthermore, the approaching frontal wave from the North Atlantic could increase the risk of thunderstorms due to the strong temperature contrast, especially in Germany's southern regions.
