Short Heat Return Before Midweek Turn Brings Heavy Rain and Storms

DWD warns a brief summer rebound Monday–Tuesday will be followed by a Wednesday frontal passage that can produce heavy alpine rain, gusty winds and local flooding risks for travelers.

Overview

  • Weekend conditions: Saturday is mild and mostly dry with widespread pleasant temperatures that prompt day‑trip traffic and crowded roads.
  • Sunday shift: Rain spreads from the northwest so that large parts of Germany, especially Bavaria, are wet before the school restart.
  • Early‑week rebound: The DWD forecasts a short warm spell Monday and Tuesday with widespread highs of 23–27 °C and local peaks near 30 °C at the Oberrhein.
  • Midweek weather change: A confirmed frontal low arrives Wednesday bringing showers, thunderstorms, gusty winds and locally heavy precipitation with alpine pockets of about 25–40 liters per square meter in 12–24 hours.
  • Impacts and uncertainty: Forecasters flag heavy rain and storm gusts as the main hazards while large tornadoes are considered unlikely, and regional model spread leaves exact late‑week timing and alpine totals uncertain.
