Multiple regions experience storms. - Be aware, as it will begin making noise at noon.

A weather system has been advancing through Germany since last Friday, causing thunderstorms and heavy rainfalls. People residing in the southwestern parts of Germany were the first to be affected, but other regions may also experience these harsh conditions starting from Tuesday.

Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hessen, and Saarland are anticipated to undergo severe weather, including thunderstorms and heavy rain. As per the German Weather Service (DWD), a low-pressure zone is set to develop over Germany on Tuesday, increasing the chances of thunderstorms.

Meteorologist Dominik Jung suggests that the thunderstorms keep forming but fail to move much, leading to prolonged periods of rainfall and flooding. This unstable weather situation is likely to persist for the upcoming two weeks. According to the DWD, widespread thunderstorms with significant rain amounts and potential flooding are expected from Tuesday afternoon in the areas of southeastern Bavaria, eastern Hesse, and northern Rhineland-Palatinate.

Over the Pentecost weekend, communities in Saarland and the southwest of Rhineland-Palatinate experienced immense water levels and flooding due to heavy downpours. A 67-year-old woman tragically passed away after being struck by a rescue vehicle, but currently, no further severe injuries have been reported. State Minister President Anke Rehlinger (SPD) stated that emergency services had to be deployed around 4,000 times.

Forecast for the next few days

Wednesday: Temperatures ranging from 19 to 28 degrees, thunderstorms expected in the northeastern region, while other parts may experience isolated showers and thunderstorms, interspersed with sunlight

Thursday: Varying temperatures from 19 to 25 degrees, with a hodgepodge of sunlight, heavy showers, and occasional thunderstorms

Friday: Temperatures ranging from 18 to 25 degrees, humidity adding to the discomfort, along with multiple heavy showers and thunderstorms, coupled with sunshine in between

Saturday: Temperatures between 17 to 25 degrees, combining sunshine, clouds, and thunderstorms, with a risk of thunderstorms

Sunday: Temperatures between 18 to 26 degrees, mixed conditions, featuring occasional showers and thunderstorms

Monday: Temperatures between 19 to 25 degrees, remaining variable, featuring showers, thunderstorms, and sunshine in the afternoon

Weather analyst Jung predicts that "There's no stable high-pressure system in sight for good weather, neither a spring high nor a summer high. This means unsteady weather, showers and thunderstorms consecutively."
