Cold Front Brings Sudden Autumn as DWD Warns of Heavy Rain and Strong Coastal Winds

Forecasters now expect the heaviest rainfall over the southwest and south after the weekend’s warmth yielded to a fast‑moving northwesterly front.

Overview

  • The DWD has active regional alerts for thunderstorms, persistent rain and gusty winds, including a level‑2 thunderstorm warning issued Sunday for South and Central Hesse.
  • In Baden‑Württemberg, the DWD expects widespread 30 to 50 l/m² by Monday afternoon with local peaks up to 60 l/m² near the Hochrhein, Schwarzwald and western Bodensee, and it flags small‑stream flood potential.
  • Along the North Sea and exposed northern areas, forecasters warn of stürmische Böen, commonly around 65 to 85 km/h with isolated coastal gusts near 80 to 100 km/h.
  • Temperatures tumble as the front sweeps east, with highs of roughly 9 to 13°C in parts of the southwest on Monday and about 12 to 18°C elsewhere.
  • Central and southern regions face a multi‑day rainfall episode that could affect events and overwhelm drainage, so authorities urge the public to follow DWD updates.
