"First summer day of the year": Where it gets up to 28 degrees on the weekend

2023-05-19T03:18:19.942Z

Highlights: Germany gets a taste of summer at the weekend. But the risk of thunderstorms is also increasing. Low pressure system "Chappu" causes high temperatures from the east. The summer warmth is expected to remain in Germany until at least the middle of next week. The weather expert expects a mild 20 degrees on Friday. Up to 23 degrees are already possible on Saturday in the eastern half. The maximum temperatures then climb to 25 degrees, in eastern Germany even to values of up to 28 degrees.



Sun and high temperatures: Germany gets a taste of summer at the weekend. But the risk of thunderstorms is also increasing.

Offenbach – Just in time for Ascension Day and Father's Day, there was almost perfect weather for excursions in many places in Germany. However, the 20 degree mark was not cracked. The rest of the long weekend should also give the weather in Germany a "touch of summer". Only from the east, clouds can pass in some areas, according to Felix Dietzsch, meteorologist of the German Weather Service (DWD) on Thursday in Offenbach. In most parts of Germany, however, it remains sunny and dry.

Weather in Germany: Low pressure system "Chappu" causes high temperatures from the east

Not only clouds reach Germany from the east - but also increasing warmth: Low "Chappu" directs warm air masses from the Mediterranean region, which are supposed to cause rising temperatures. While the weather expert expects a mild 20 degrees on Friday, up to 23 degrees are already possible on Saturday in the eastern half.

Germany can look forward to the weather in the following days, because "on Sunday, the first summer day of the year actually awaits us," says meteorologist Dietzsch. The maximum temperatures then climb to 25 degrees, in eastern Germany even to values of up to 28 degrees.

Weather in Germany: Risk of severe weather and thunderstorms increases from Saturday

But with the warm summer air, the risk of showers and thunderstorms increases at the weekend, as the DWD weather expert explained. On Friday, this is still within limits, before the weather in Germany becomes more uncomfortable on Saturday. Then the southern and eastern highlands can be affected by lightning, thunder and heavier rainfall. On Sunday, individual thunderstorms with heavy rain from the sun and clouds can also form, according to the DWD. This is especially true in the southeast and in the Alpine region.

The meteorologist also has good weather prospects for the coming week: The summer warmth is expected to remain in Germany until at least the middle of next week. Isolated thunderstorms are still to be expected. (dpa/hk
