It is getting significantly warmer in Germany, at the same time the risk of thunderstorms increases. There is even a threat of storms on Monday.
Offenbach (dpa) – At the weekend in Germany, the T-shirt can finally be taken out of the closet. “A significant change in the weather is announced,” said the meteorologist Florian Bilgeri from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach on Friday.
The cool temperatures say goodbye, on Sunday it can be up to 30 degrees. The highest temperatures are announced for the Upper Rhine. It had snowed in Potsdam and Berlin and also in the Harz on Friday. According to the DWD in Potsdam, this is not a consequence of climate change, but a normal weather phenomenon: A low moving eastward brings very humid and cold air with it.
The contrast program on Sunday is provided by air moving from Spain and North Africa to Germany. On Saturday it will be significantly warmer than this May with values of up to 21 degrees. In the south the forecast is “clear to cloudy”, especially in the south-east, longer, sunny sections are possible. Otherwise, thick clouds gather in the course of the day, and rain spreads from the Eifel and Rothaar Mountains in the south to the North Sea northeast.
Also on Sunday it is cloudy in the north-west and north, there it can be thunderstorm in the evening. In the rest of the republic it is sunny and dry with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees. The wind blows only a little. Even at night, with temperatures between 7 and 15 degrees, it remains well away from the frost area. However, it can continue to rain and thunderstorms in the west and northwest.
The weather there calms down on Monday, but the many clouds in the sky remain; at times it rains. In most of the rest of the country, sunshine initially predominates. During the day cumulus clouds accumulate, especially in the southwest and in the middle. There is a risk of strong thunderstorms, which will gradually spread to the east and south-east. “There is a strong foehn in the Alps,” announced the meteorologist Bilgeri. In the eastern half it is again warm in summer with 24 to 30 degrees, further to the west a new cold front only provides 17 to 24 degrees. In the western low mountain ranges with prolonged rain it can get even cooler.
