The new week with the start of summer can be quite uncomfortable in some places if the temperatures continue to be quite high. On Monday it will initially remain sunny and mostly dry in the south, north-east and extreme west, the German weather service (DWD) in Offenbach said on Sunday. But there are already the first warm thunderstorms in the Alps. In the afternoon there will also be thunderstorms over the low mountain range and parts of northern Germany. The temperatures will rise to 26 to 31 degrees with muggy air.
The humidity will increase on Tuesday and the conditions for the first national storm of the year have been met. The extremely humid air is ideal for severe thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail and squalls. In the north-west half of the morning, thundery rain is to be expected. According to the meteorologists, this will also spread to parts of the south and east in the afternoon. In the northwest and west, the maximum temperatures are 28, otherwise up to 33 degrees. It is only cooler on the coasts.
According to the DWD, there is also a local risk of severe weather with heavy rain and larger hail on Wednesday, the calendar (astronomical) start of summer. With changing clouds, there are sometimes strong thunderstorms over the course of the day, with the risk of thunderstorms being somewhat lower in north-west and south-east Bavaria. The maximum values are between 25 and 29 degrees, in the southeast and east locally also at 32 degrees.
