" The tropical summer will bring flash floods from Friday afternoon, " warns weather expert Dominik Jung from wetter.net. In addition to the violent thunderstorms with hail and gusts of wind, according to the meteorologist, there is an " unsightly side effect ": the high winds are only weak and, due to the weather conditions, are temporarily suspended.
