According to forecasts by the German Weather Service (DWD), Germany is divided into very different weather zones on the Pentecost weekend.
"You just have to be in the right place at the right time," said Magdalena Bertelmann from the DWD in Offenbach.
The risk of severe weather is greatest on Pentecost Sunday.
On Whit Monday it will be "a little less turbulent".
According to the DWD, severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday in southern Germany, from the Lake Constance area to the foothills of the Alps to the Bavarian Forest.
In addition to heavy rain, they could also be accompanied by hail and gusts up to the hurricane range.
There is also a risk of thunderstorms in western and central Germany – but probably less severe there.
Only the extreme north and east remain outside.
Thunderstorms especially in Bavaria
All in all, there is something for "every weather taste," according to Bertelmann: For example, there are hours of sunshine on Sundays on the Baltic Sea islands.
The air is muggy and warm in Lower Franconia, among other places.
Temperatures in the single digits are to be expected northeast of the Elbe at night.
Thunderstorm fans especially get their money's worth in Bavaria.
