The sun stays in Germany only for a short time before Tief “Manfred” hails us the weekend on Sunday.

There are local thunderstorms, storms and heavy rain.

Offenbach / Munich - Finally a bit of summer in this storm-riddled August.

Hoch "Fridoline" drives the clouds away on Saturday and brings high temperatures and a good mood to large parts of Germany.

Just the right holiday weather.

Unfortunately, the summer weather doesn't last too long.

Even at night it can get uncomfortable in many places.

"Manfred" is to blame.

The low brings rain and thunderstorms to the western half of the Federal Republic as early as the night on Sunday.

It gets wet in the north and east.

On Sunday, "Manfred" could then spread eastward over northern Germany during the day, warns the German Weather Service (DWD).

"This means that showers and thunderstorms on Sunday will also spread to large parts of the country." 

From tonight from W to large parts of Germany, shower-like rain and #thunderstorms, locally #Unwetter.


In addition, #Starkregen repeatedly in parts of northern and eastern Germany.

According to the current status, there are 50 to 80 l / m² in places, locally around 100 l / m² not excluded.

Storm in Germany: DWD warns of heavy rain - two areas particularly affected

"Please be careful - this can lead to flooding locally," warns meteorologist Alban Burster from 

wetter.com

of the approaching storms.

The potential is particularly high in the north and northeast.

According to the DWD, the thunderstorm focus is on the region from eastern and southern Lower Saxony to Saxony-Anhalt to Brandenburg and Berlin.

Here it can come to heavy rain of 30 to 50 mm in a few hours.

But there is also a threat of severe thunderstorms in south-east Germany.

In Bavaria, heavy rain with up to 40 liters per square meter in a short time, as well as hail and squalls, can be expected again.

"How exactly the situation will develop is still uncertain at the moment."

Precipitation and flooding in the Free State have already caused severe damage and claimed human lives in the past few weeks.

Weather in Germany: is summer over?

The rains are slowly subsiding and while it remains volatile in the south, it could get drier in the north from Monday onwards.

On Tuesday the rain clouds will then also move away in the southeast.

Still, it won't be really summery.

The maximum values ​​freeze between 18 and 23 degrees.

Autumn seems to be slowly approaching.
