Overview
- After a run of thunderstorms, many areas are expected to see a quieter, partly clear night with storm activity easing.
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst warns a cold front moving down from the north will bring area-wide rain and strengthening winds when it arrives on Thursday.
- Coastal regions should prepare for storm- or gale‑force gusts and the north and northwest can expect noticeably cooler, showery conditions with daytime highs near 20°C.
- The southwest will largely avoid the cold air and remain summery, with highs in the upper 20s Celsius and the potential to climb above 30°C again over the weekend.
- Practical impacts include travel disruption and unsecured items at the coast, a need for rain gear in the north, and a rapid return to warm, outdoor-friendly weather in the southwest; forecasters say the contrast is likely to persist into Friday and the weekend.
