The southern regions are particularly prone to developing strong showers and thunderstorms during the day, which could bring heavy rainfall and large hail, potentially leading to severe weather conditions.
In the north, unsettled weather with showers and thunderstorms is forecast to begin Sunday night, especially near the North Sea coast. However, the southwestern parts of the country are expected to see increasingly pleasant conditions on Sunday.
The air temperature has noticeably cooled across the country. Maximum temperatures on Sunday are predicted to range between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius. A notable exception is the Upper Rhine region, where temperatures could reach up to 25 degrees, marking a summer day.
Looking ahead to the new week, the southwest will experience high-pressure influence, bringing more sunshine and fewer showers. Conversely, the DWD anticipates stronger low-pressure influence in the northeastern regions on Monday, with clouds likely dominating. Showers and thunderstorms are also possible in these areas. Temperatures on Monday are expected to be between 19 and 26 degrees Celsius, with the highest temperatures anticipated in southwestern Germany.
