Overview

  • The German Weather Service has issued advisories for heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail up to 3 cm, and gusts reaching 90 km/h across multiple regions.
  • A 24-hour rainfall peak of about 50 liters per square meter was recorded at Hohenbucko in Brandenburg, triggering localized flood alerts.
  • Recent downpours have driven Brandenburg’s forest fire danger to its lowest level since spring.
  • Showers and severe weather are expected to continue into midweek before temperatures could climb toward 40 °C.
  • Persistent unstable conditions are straining infrastructure and raising flash-flood risks, even as communities prepare for a potential heatwave.
