- The German Weather Service had issued alerts up to its highest tiers for parts of the state, urging people to avoid being outdoors due to lightning, strong gusts, heavy rain and hail.
- Conditions improve on Friday with more sun after morning fog and highs around 14 to 22 degrees, then turn springlike over the weekend with 18 to 25 degrees on Saturday and up to 27 on Sunday in parts of Germany.
- Short‑term hazards persist in southern high ground, including brief downpours and gusts near 60 km/h, while the Alpine snow line sits near 1,600 meters and night fog or ground frost can form in valleys.
