Heat waves and storms threaten: This is what the weather will be like in Rhineland-Palatinate!
A heat wave is currently underway in Rhineland-Palatinate and parts of Saarland, causing temperatures to rise to up to 38 degrees. High temperatures between 34 and 38 degrees are expected, especially on Tuesday. Even at higher altitudes it doesn't get any cooler at around 32 degrees. You certainly won't get bored, but the high heat not only brings with it a sweaty summer, but also the prospect of storms. The German Weather Service (DWD) has already issued official heat warnings to encourage citizens to be careful. According to Merkur a change in the weather is predicted, which will bring not only humid weather but also heavy thunderstorms and rain.
From the late afternoon and evening on Tuesday, strong heat thunderstorms can occur south of the Moselle, which can be associated with heavy rain, squalls and even small-grain hail. The weather situation remains tense, which is why the DWD is warning about the health risks of high heat stress. Sensitive people should pay particular attention to their condition, as there are health risks even without official warnings. The official heat warnings are reassessed daily and include information about heat exposure, which is taken into account both during the day and at night, according to the Heatwarnings.
Changeable weather is ahead
The heatwave will reach its peak on Wednesday, with temperatures between 36 and 39 degrees forecast. In the Upper Rhine region, values of up to 40 degrees are possible. Thursday will also remain changeable and brings with it the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, while it should become clear and dry again on Friday. The temperatures then range between a pleasant 23 and 28 degrees. So while the summer temperatures continue for the time being, no one can foresee the thunderstorm-like developments to come. The DWD warns of stormy gusts that can occur during thunderstorms, increasing the risk for citizens.
In summary, it can be said that the next few days in Rhineland-Palatinate and at times also in Saarland will bring both high heat and severe storms. The combination of summer heat and sudden thunderstorms definitely leaves no room for boredom - but also no room for negligence. Everyone should take good care of themselves and take weather warnings seriously to protect themselves and others. Stay informed and enjoy the summer, but stay careful!
