The start of the week has little to do with the spectacular May weekend.
The German Weather Service warns of thunderstorms.
Offenbach - The summer of the second weekend in May remains an interlude!
According to forecasts, it will be rainy in parts of Germany from Monday.
The weather channel
meteorologists
believe a rare phenomenon is possible: rain of blood.
The cause is Saharan dust from the south.
On the one hand, it leads to clouds and prevents thunderstorms, especially in the middle of the country.
But the second effect is more exciting: the rain "washes" the reddish dust out of the warm air - the visual result of the colored precipitation is the "blood rain".
But this time you have to be lucky to see him, according to the meteorologists.

Weather in Germany: From snow and night frost in two days to summer temperatures
Again about the suddenly so warm last weekend: Summer came almost “overnight”, this is how the
German Weather Service (DWD)
in Offenbach
summarizes
the current weather situation.
The temperatures of up to 30 degrees that were possible this weekend are not unusual.
Rather, it was time for such a heat advance, said a
DWD
spokesman on Sunday.
The fact that the change from snow and night frost to summer temperatures takes place within two days does not happen all that often.
German weather service does not rule out storms from Tuesday
At the start of the week, the short summer heat
in the west is already history,
according to the
DWD
.
Then it should be no more than 19 to 24 degrees.
In the east, on the other hand, it is still warm to hot in midsummer with 25 to 30 degrees until Tuesday.
Then colder air flows in from the west, which does not go hand in hand with a thunderstorm.
According to the meteorologists, these can also be stormy.
On Tuesday it will be increasingly thunderstorm - in a strip from the Swabian Alb to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
In the case of heavy precipitation that is sometimes longer lasting, only 14 to 19 degrees are expected.
