Despite the summer temperatures, caution is advised because with the forecast thunderstorms, squalls cannot be ruled out. On Sunday night, dense clouds with further showers and thunderstorms will move into the country from the west. A tropical night can be expected, especially on the Rhine and Neckar, in which temperatures will be above 20 degrees; In other parts of the country it is a little milder with temperatures between 19 and 15 degrees.https://www.rnz.de/politik/suedwest_artikel,-Wetter-in-Baden-Wuerttemberg-Die-Unwetterfähr-waechst-im-TagesKurs-_arid,520423.html

The natural hazards portal as an important contact point

A helpful tool in times of natural forces is the natural hazards portal launched by the DWD. This portal not only offers current warnings, but also valuable risk information and preventive measures. Users can access information about specific locations and find out about impending dangers such as floods or storms.https://www.dwd.de/DE/klimaumwelt/aktuelle_meldeen/250411/naturfährenportal.htmlThe information on offer also includes long-term preparations for extreme natural events, which is particularly important in persistently changeable weather conditions.

Especially in times of extreme weather, in which heavy rain and storms occur more frequently, it is essential to be well informed in order to protect yourself and your property. The interactive maps and real-time data from the natural hazards portal provide valuable support and help to better assess risks.

With this information in mind, it is important to monitor the coming days closely. The weather remains exciting and should not be taken lightly!
