The north-east of Germany can adjust to bathing temperatures, then it will be 22 to 28 degrees on Saturday and 20 to 27 degrees on Sunday.

In addition, the sun should shine.

In large parts of Germany it is humid, warm and thunderstorm.

Renewed storms with heavy rain, hail and squalls are also possible, as the German Weather Service (DWD) announced on Friday.

This applies to central Germany as far as the south and south-east.

Storms had already caused significant damage on Thursday evening in parts of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. Heavy rain filled the basement, pushed gullies up and led to flooded roads and underpasses. On some streets the water was so high that cars got stuck and the fire department had to help the occupants out.

In Essen, several people were even locked in a kiosk because the water pressure from outside made it impossible to open the door.

The trapped could ultimately be led into the open through a back door.

In Recklinghausen, the roof of a house caught fire during a thunderstorm.

A lightning strike set a tree on fire in Bottrop.

The Bottrop fire brigade announced that in one street the water had dammed up to a height of around 200 meters in some places.

Several adjacent businesses were reportedly flooded.

  • Current warnings from the German Weather Service can be found here.

Also in the coming week showers and thunderstorms should come up during the day, as DWD meteorologist Sebastian Altnau explained.

The potential for severe weather is decreasing noticeably, but locally stronger thunderstorms with heavy rain are still possible.

In parts of Bavaria, meteorologists also predict squalls and hail.

Overall, according to the forecast, it should be early summer and changeable.
