Germany's eastern states of Saxony, Thuringia, and Saxony-Anhalt are set for a significant weather change, moving from summer warmth to a more unsettled pattern by Friday.
Today, residents can still expect a mix of sunshine and passing clouds, with temperatures climbing to a summery 27 to 30 degrees Celsius. However, the German Weather Service (DWD) warns that clouds will begin to gather from the south later in the day.
The transition will become more pronounced overnight into Friday. Clouds will thicken from the southwest, and the first showers and thunderstorms are possible in Thuringia and the Harz region towards the end of the night. Temperatures will dip to between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
Friday itself is predicted to bring widespread cloud cover across all three states. The DWD anticipates frequent showers and some strong thunderstorms, with the possibility of severe weather events. Maximum temperatures will range from 20 to 29 degrees Celsius, a noticeable drop from the preceding days.
