Hot days in Hesse: Up to 36 degrees and thunderstorms on Sunday!

Next Sunday, Hesse will show its hottest side: highs between 33 and 36 degrees are expected. The association grounds along Bergstrasse could even push the thermometer up to 37 degrees, as Bergsträßer Anzeiger reports. While the sun's rays dominate the sky on Sunday morning, a change in the weather is expected in the evening.

A low pressure area, the core of which is located near the British Isles, will approach the state on Sunday evening. This change in weather not only brings clouds, but also the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, as the meteorologists from the German Weather Service explain. Gales with speeds between 80 and 90 km/h cannot be ruled out and locally there may even be storms with heavy rain of up to 30 l/sqm. This means that people in Hesse would do well to plan their evening plans accordingly.

Weather forecast for tonight and Monday

On Monday night the signs are: Clouds will cover the sky and temperatures will drop to 21 to 16 degrees. It's not just a matter of harmless showers; thunderstorms could also disrupt the night's peace. On Monday itself the weather situation will be rather unstable. Rain will begin in the south, while other regions will remain dry. Highs of 23 to 27 degrees are expected, and a fresh wind will cool the thundery air slightly.

Things are looking better again for Tuesday: In the south, the sky promises more sunshine and pleasant temperatures between 22 and 27 degrees, while the north will remain changeable, as Hessenschau also predicts. The cooling down also brings hope for some recovery after a hot Sunday, although one should not completely ignore the weather warning of heavy thunderstorms for Tuesday evening.

Heat and risk of storms

The expected high temperatures could be dangerous because the risk of heat stroke increases. People who spend a lot of time outdoors or for whom UV rays are particularly harmful should take care and protect themselves. The risk of forest fires in the Rhine-Main area has already reached its highest level - another sign of the oppressive heat that is coming to Hesse. The weather situation not only requires a good hand when planning outdoor activities, but also a close eye on weather developments.

Overall, we can expect an exciting weather weekend in Hesse. Despite all the sunny weather, there will also be a significant change in the weather on Sunday evening, which everyone should keep in mind.
