Update from Monday, July 25, 12:51 p.m .: In Hesse, isolated strong thunderstorms are to be expected on Monday (July 25). The forecast by the German Weather Service (DWD) on Saturday (see initial report) is solidifying, with the authority now not ruling out thunderstorms, some with heavy rain, hail and gusts of wind of up to 110 kilometers per hour. In the afternoon, a low spur from the west brings the storm to us, which spreads over Hesse as it progresses.

Despite the announced thunderstorms, it will initially remain hot in Hesse on Monday. Up to 34 degrees are predicted. Only after the rain and wind subside again on Tuesday night should cooler air follow. Temperatures of up to 27 degrees can be expected in Hesse from Tuesday to Thursday. It remains largely free of precipitation.
