Am Samstag müssen die Menschen in Berlin und Brandenburg mit Gewittern rechnen.

Overview

  • DWD expects the southwest to stay largely dry and increasingly sunny through Tuesday, with daytime highs around 17–24 °C.
  • Southern Germany saw a very intense short burst of rain, with about 180 liters per square meter in roughly 17 hours reported by Q.met.
  • Flooding hit streets, cellars and fields, yet widespread severe damage was limited as many soils absorbed much of the water.
  • Northerly air brought a sharp cooldown with widespread sub‑10 °C mornings and valley readings near 5 °C, with localized ground frost possible at night.
  • Forecasts indicate ex‑Hurricane Erin could arrive as an extratropical low early next week and steer warmer air that may lift highs to 25–33 °C by Tuesday and Wednesday.
