Overview

• The Deutscher Wetterdienst has kept severe weather alerts active for heavy thunderstorms, hail and gusty winds across multiple federal states.
• A polar and maritime cold front tied to Tief "Horst" is channeling moist unstable air from the British Isles into Germany, triggering widespread storms.
• Recent downpours, including up to 50 L/m² in Brandenburg’s Elbe-Elster-Kreis, have lowered forest fire danger but saturated soils raise localized flood threats.
• Forecasts predict unsettled weather with showers and thunderstorms through Thursday before a high-pressure ridge brings drier, hotter conditions.
• A brief return to summer warmth is expected this weekend, with southern regions potentially reaching highs of 34 °C.
