In the course of Friday, a renewed revival of thunderstorm activity is to be expected.

"Storm-like heavy rain" is possible at certain points, as well as "hail with particle diameters of up to 2 cm".

First report from May 11th:

Munich – High summer temperatures have lured Munich residents out into the fresh air in the last few days.

Cyclists on the cycle paths, bathers on the Isar and a full English Garden - summer has arrived in Munich.

Heavy thunderstorms are also typical of the warm season - and the state capital could be faced with such.

Thunderstorms from France are rolling towards Munich – and are a rare phenomenon

As the

Weather Channel

reports on YouTube, Germany is expecting unusual weather conditions in the next few days.

Around midnight, large thunderstorm complexes that formed in France would move to Germany.

Overnight they would intensify - a "rare phenomenon", as the title of the video says.

The reason: "A short-wave trough comes and fuels these thunderstorms," ​​explains meteorologist Jan Schenk.

In any case, heavy rain is to be expected on Friday night, the following morning and in the morning.

This is unusual, since thunderstorms usually occur in the afternoon or evening, Schenk said.

Thunderstorm clusters are possible, even a super cell can occur, according to

weather.com

.

At least heavy rain is to be expected, but lightning, hail and local flooding are also possible.

The

weather map shows the menacing-looking cloud approaching Munich.

According to the forecasts of the experts, it will also, at least partially, roll over Munich on Friday.

This could make it uncomfortable, heavy rain, lightning and hail are possible.

However, the full force of the storms from France seems to be increasingly unloading outside of the state capital.

Expert Schenk still has good news for Munich for the weekend: "The weekend will be very, very nice." For Saturday and Sunday, the forecast for southern Germany shows 22 and 24 degrees respectively.

The beginning of the coming week, on the other hand, will probably be a bit wetter again.
