Thunderstorms expected in the southwest: Watch the national team match outdoors? Here's the evening weather forecast

Residents in southwestern Germany hoping to enjoy the World Cup match between Germany and Paraguay outdoors may face a challenge due to severe weather warnings. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts thunderstorms, potentially bringing heavy to extreme rainfall, throughout Sunday.

While the morning is expected to bring clouds and scattered thunderstorms, the weather is predicted to clear somewhat in the east later in the day. However, isolated but strong thunderstorms are still possible, particularly in the Alb region and areas south of it. Temperatures are expected to drop from recent extreme heat, with highs ranging from 24 degrees Celsius in the mountains to 26-29 degrees elsewhere.

Meteorologists are uncertain about the weather conditions at the specific kick-off time of 10:30 p.m. for the Germany-Paraguay match. Marco Puckert, a DWD meteorologist, indicated that new thunderstorms could develop on Monday evening, especially in the southeastern parts of Baden-Württemberg. He cautioned that predicting the exact focal points of these storms is difficult.

Puckert advised that there is no guaranteed location in the region that will be entirely free from thunderstorms during the match. For those who wish to avoid potential disruptions from rain and lightning, he suggested that watching the game from the comfort of one's home sofa would be the safest option.
