Tuesday poses the highest risk for extreme weather, particularly in the southern parts of Brandenburg.

Very heavy rainfall, with up to 40 liters per square meter in an hour, is also anticipated. These storms are expected to move south by evening.

Throughout Wednesday, rain will spread from Lusatia northwestward towards the Berlin area and reach Prignitz and Uckermark in the afternoon. Localized heavy rain is expected. The DWD predicts continued rain overnight into Thursday, though it should lessen. Thursday will see further rain, especially in the northeast, with "thunderstorm-interspersed rain" moving north by evening. The southwestern parts of Brandenburg are expected to see clearing skies with only isolated showers and thunderstorms.
