Munich - Even if it does not suit many and they would rather enjoy the sun outside, the rainy weather in Germany is good for the soil in Germany that is plagued by drought . Weather expert Dominik Jung from the Q.met weather service told the weather portal wetter.net that spring brought just under 50 percent of the long-term rainfall and was much too dry

The associated cooler air should not necessarily be. On the first weekend in June, temperatures rarely exceed 20 degrees . “Nature can still soak up a lot of rain. With a few heavy rain showers, thunderstorms and rainfalls , a lot came from the sky. There may be a little more, ”Jung explains the current situation.

Weather in Germany: Extremely humid threatens - expert warns of thunderstorms and flash floods

Next week, however, things will remain changeable in Germany, while summer rules in Eastern Europe . In Moscow even 30 degrees are expected. This warm air comes to Germany in the course of the week and meets the existing moist air mass here. According to Jung, this makes for very muggy days , with a high thunderstorm potential : “Since there would be hardly any movement in the air mass, the risk of local storms would increase, because the thunderstorms would often be very stationary and could always bring downpours on the spot . We already know this flash flood weather situation from previous years. ”
