Thunderstorm alarm in the Rhine-Main area: heavy rain and wind warnings expected!
Just in time for the Whitsun weekend, the Rhine-Main area, especially the cities of Offenbach and Hanau, is expecting changeable weather with rain and stormy gusts. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a severe thunderstorm warning that is valid until this afternoon. The affected areas were narrowed down to the Offenbach district, the city of Offenbach, the Main-Kinzig district, the Darmstadt-Dieburg district and the city of Darmstadt. The current warning level was rated 2 out of 4, which should be taken seriously. Particularly striking are the announcements of wind gusts with speeds of up to 70 km/h, which will impressively ring in Whitsun Sunday op-online.de reported.
We are experiencing a crazy change in the weather today: While we have to prepare for a wet outlook, the temperatures on Saturday are still tempting with a midsummer feeling between 31 and 35 degrees. But the advance warning from the DWD this Pentecost weekend sounds like a different weather world. From the afternoon onwards, not only thunderstorms can be expected in the western half, but also extensive rainfall of up to 25 l/sqm and occasional local storms that could bring up to 40 l/sqm. The night in particular promises a changeable spectacle: the temperature can drop to between 21 and 16 degrees, which can seem quite chilly, especially after a hot day. This also offers dwd.de exciting details about the weather forecasts.
Outlook for the next few days
What happens next? The weather situation will calm down from Monday: We can expect largely dry days with highs between 22 and 27 degrees. Tuesday in particular will be bright and rain-free, which should be welcome for all of us to finally get outdoors again. A look at the coming days gives hope for temperatures of up to 30 degrees, especially in the high altitudes on the Upper Rhine. That sounds like a perfect end to the days of Pentecost, if the weather experts have their way! unwetterzentrale.de offers an overview of the severe weather warnings in Hesse, which are continuously updated by trained staff.
The general rule is always: stay alert and follow the weather forecasts closely. Even if the weather for Whitsunday is haywire, there are still clear days after the stormy arcs that bring us back to spring or even summer. So pack your rain jacket and start the holidays well prepared!
