Overview
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) says showers and locally kräftige Gewitter will return from Monday, 31 August, with sturmböen around 85 km/h, localized heavy rainfall and small‑grained hail possible.
- This weekend is largely calmer and warmer in the south, where daytime highs reach about 28–29 °C and largely dry conditions persist before the Monday change.
- Forecasters stress a separate wind hazard outside convective cells, with exposed areas such as mountains and the North Sea at risk of stürmische Böen and some Bavarian warnings citing gusts that could reach roughly 100–120 km/h in isolated spots.
- High‑resolution regional models and local experts flag the possibility of very intense short‑duration rainfall — in places more than 30 mm — creating localized flash‑flood and overflow risks in vulnerable towns and river channels.
- Beyond midweek the pattern is uncertain: ensemble guidance shows a possible warm rebound to around 30 °C in the far southwest later in the week but forecasters say that outcome is not yet confident, so residents should monitor local DWD warnings.
