There were no clouds. Now things are slowly changing. Or you say so. Today I wish that when the sky is no longer blue but dark gray, everyone would please go inside, because there are storms heading our way. We are not affected by this in the East, but in many other regions. Added to this is the extreme heat. Saarbrücken, today 36 degrees. Let's take a look at what's in store for us. Storms and heavy downpours are on the agenda today, and the showers are so heavy today because the air is so humid. In the afternoon, the humid level rises to the extreme category in large parts of North Rhine-Westphalia and western Lower Saxony . So take it slow. In the center and south, humidity and heat are very strong. We're starting this Tuesday with calm weather, but the first downpours are already starting to appear in Baden-Württemberg and Lower Saxony this morning. Large cloud packages then quickly form, from which storms with heavy rain arise, most violently in the orange areas over the mountains and later in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. We are talking about 60 to 100 liters of rain per square meter in a few hours. The heavy rain will cause flash floods and flooding locally. In the south and center, the heavy rain is regionally accompanied by hail, thunderstorms and squalls. So get the kids out of the pool and head in when the sky turns dark gray. From the Danish border across the Baltic Sea to Berlin and on to Saxony, you won't notice any of these storms. Here we have sunshine. The hot air is also reaching our east and Hamburg today. On Sylt it is still pleasant at 25 degrees, otherwise the maximum values ​​are between 27 degrees in Emsland and 35 degrees in Frankfurt am Main. We expect 32 degrees in Munich, Berlin and Hamburg. Wednesday is also marked by storms. Only in large parts of the east does it still remain dry. On Thursday morning the showers and thunderstorms will subside and the whole situation will calm down. At the weekend we will have summer showers, but without any drama. Everything wonderful. Thank you. Hold on today, and then on the weekend.
