Gloomy weather forecast: thunderstorms and heavy rain are threatening in Hesse!

Anyone traveling in Hesse next weekend should be prepared for an uncomfortable weather setup. meteorologists of the German Weather Service (DWD) have predicted unsettled weather with dense cloud cover and precipitation. Friday, July 11th, starts with heavy clouds and occasional precipitation. While northern Hesse can expect highs of 22 degrees, southern Hesse can look forward to up to 26 degrees. The wind will be light to moderate.

The weather will remain unpleasant on Saturday, July 12th. Further rainfall is expected in northern Hesse, while temperatures there will reach a maximum of 21 degrees. Southern Hesse has things a little better and can expect temperatures of up to 27 degrees, but dense cloud cover will dominate here too. Winds will continue to be light to moderate.

Severe storms on Sunday

But Sunday, July 13th, puts the weather to a tough test. Regional rainfall and even severe weather may brew on this day. Meteorologists warn of possible heavy rain events that require increased caution. The temperatures fluctuate between 23 and 29 degrees, and strong gusts of wind cannot be ruled out, especially in connection with storms. In southern Hesse, even isolated cheers can be expected to lighten the oppressive mood for a brief moment.

Over the weekend, the DWD reported a low pressure area over northern Germany that is having a strong impact on the weather in Hesse. This brings moderately warm to warm and increasingly humid air. Today, July 13th, thunderstorms with heavy rain between 15 and 25 mm and wind gusts of up to 60 km/h can already occur in the northern half of the country.

The consequences of climate change

These developments must be viewed in the context of ongoing climate change. According to an analysis by ARD Alpha An increase in extreme weather events is forecast for Germany. Since 1881, the average temperature has increased by 1.7 degrees Celsius, which, combined with more water in the air (7% per degree), has led to an increase in heat waves and heavy rain. By 2050, the number of dangerous hot days in temperate latitudes is expected to double, and heavy rain events are also increasing in frequency and intensity.

This weekend's weather should be seen as a reminder that we must prepare for change. Whether as a leisure activity outside or in traffic - a certain degree of caution is required. The forecasts for the next few days show that there will be a lively interplay of sun, clouds and precipitation. The forecast ranges from thunderstorms on Monday to mild temperatures on Tuesday afternoon with a maximum of 27 degrees. The DWD keeps its finger on the pulse and provides tarfs with important information on weather developments in Hesse across the region.

Even if it will be uncomfortable in the coming days, the hope for pleasant summer days remains alive, because the next heat wave with temperature peaks between 40 and 43 degrees in Germany and Central Europe is no longer that far away - so it is definitely appropriate to take a look at further developments.
