But while the sun is shining on Friday, a change awaits us on Saturday. Temperatures are rising to 29 to 33 degrees, and the German Weather Service has issued an official heat warning for the day, which is valid from 11 a.m. until the evening. The districts in Emsland, Grafschaft Bentheim, Vechta and Osnabrück are particularly affected. This means that when you go outside, remember the heat prevention tips!
Heat and its dangers
Heat stress poses a serious threat to our health. The experts at the German Weather Service also know this, and they make it clear that extreme heat can lead to health problems, especially for older people and people with previous illnesses. Heat warnings are issued when there is acute danger. Even without such warnings, sensitive people should pay particular attention as the effects of heat can be felt even in milder situations.
Loud Federal Environment Agency The years from 2000 to 2024 will be characterized by an increase in hot days and tropical nights. This highlights the influence of climate change, which is not only making summers warmer but also more extreme. In recent years there have been extreme heat waves that have claimed thousands of lives. The forecasts show that this stressful situation could worsen in the future.
A change in the weather is imminent
However, Saturday evening brings the turning point: Deep Xhevat is moving in and could bring severe weather, especially thunderstorms and heavy rain. Emsland will be affected first, while the severe weather conditions will later spread eastwards. Gusts of up to 55 km/h and intense rain are expected, which means unpleasant weather conditions for many.
On Sunday night the temperatures can drop to between 19 and 16 degrees, but it usually stays dry. But the weather report predicts new showers and thunderstorms, especially for Sunday morning, which will reach the east of Lower Saxony. Here we expect temperatures between 23 and 26 degrees.
The coming week could initially offer a mix of sun and clouds, but we should expect isolated thunderstorms to continue moving through the region as the weather slowly calms down behind the cold front.
So the weather situation remains exciting. While we can enjoy the sun on Friday, from Saturday onwards we have to be careful with the heat and changes in the weather! Stay hydrated and avoid extra exertion in the blazing sun!
