Overview
- After several days of thunderstorms, the DWD reports that many central and southern areas have calmed and will see partly clear, quiet nights as the immediate convective activity weakens.
- The DWD warns a cold front moving down from the north will bring showery, cooler weather on Thursday and stronger winds that may reach storm or gale strength on the North Sea coast.
- On Wednesday the DWD issued active warnings for parts of Bavaria, where strong thunderstorms produced gusts up to about 70 km/h, heavy short‑term rainfall around 20 l/m² per hour and small hail.
- Regional forecasts show a split pattern with the north staying cooler and wetter while the southwest warms again, and local guidance for Kreis Kusel projects daytime highs near 30–32°C at the start of next week.
- People in northern coastal areas should prepare for wet, gusty conditions and possible wind damage, and residents in the southwest should watch for rising temperatures, heat stress risks and changing forecasts as the week progresses.
