Weather in Germany: “Stalemate” and “50:50” - the prospects for July
In July, things could continue in a similar way to the previous month. Means: partly high temperatures followed by local storms including heavy rain. Meteorologist Björn Alexander told
Wetter.com
: “In the meantime, the extremes in the forecasts of the various computer models in the short to medium term are in balance. One part of the weather models again prefers a heat variant, especially in the south and east, while the other part of the forecasts quickly changes to the thunderstorm side with storms. The chances are about the same here. So 50:50. "
