Showers, thunderstorms and heavy rain: summer is on pause in Baden-Württemberg!
Summer in Baden-Württemberg is taking an unexpected break: starting today, the region will be hit by heavy showers and thunderstorms. The German Weather Service (DWD) announces that thunderstorms and heavy rain will spread from the west on Monday. Rainfall amounts of up to 40 liters per square meter per hour are possible, which could mean that some places could be severely affected. So anyone planning to go outside today should be prepared for wet roads and stormy gusts.

Weather forecast and impacts
Not only thunderstorms are expected over the course of Monday, but also long-lasting heavy rain, which will begin mainly from midday onwards.

Increased rainfall is also expected on the Ostalb and in Hohenlohe, which could influence agricultural harvests. Here, too, there is an acute risk of short-term flooding because the dried out soil can hardly absorb water.
Wednesday could be the coolest day of the week before the weather calms down for the weekend. The weather service makes it clear that the summer weather will not last and we must remain flexible. “Have a good hand” was probably the motto when the weather was last so nice – now we have to see how we deal with the nasty surprises.
