Weather: New Heatwave Expected – Thunderstorm Risk Remains High

Germany is bracing for a new heatwave, with the German Weather Service (DWD) predicting temperatures could soar to 37 degrees Celsius starting Thursday. This follows a weekend that will see rising temperatures and a risk of thunderstorms in some regions.

On Sunday, the weather is expected to begin with clear skies in Baden-Württemberg, but the risk of thunderstorms will increase by evening. Despite the potential for storms, much of the day is forecast to remain dry. However, the DWD warns of significant heat stress, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 36 degrees Celsius in the Rhine Valley. The night into Monday may also bring showers and thunderstorms, especially around the Alb region.

The DWD anticipates a higher risk of thunderstorms in the southern half of the state on Monday, particularly from around 6:00 PM. While these storms are expected to be localized and isolated, Monday is predicted to receive the most rainfall of the week. Tuesday offers a slight chance of rain and isolated thunderstorms only for the southern parts of Baden-Württemberg, with Wednesday expected to be dry and clear.

Looking ahead, the DWD forecasts the next heatwave to begin on Thursday, bringing potentially even higher temperatures. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary precautions against the expected heat.
