Wednesday, July 20: Wednesday will also remain hot, but the temperatures will probably not be quite as high as the day before. “Our model calculates peak values of around 35 degrees in the Koblenz area and around Ludwigshafen and Karlsruhe,” explains Siebert-Sperl. Otherwise it will be midsummer warm with temperatures of 26 to 34 degrees. It can also get warmer than 30 degrees again on the coasts. The first clouds, showers or thunderstorms can be felt again over the western half of Germany.
Thursday, July 21: “The tipping point comes on Thursday,” she predicts. The risk of showers and thunderstorms is now increasing in the entire western half between the North Sea and Rhineland-Palatinate. The thunderstorms can sometimes be more violent. “Unfortunately, more precise predictions are not yet possible. When it rains and thunderstorms, the weather maps still fluctuate a lot,” says the meteorologist. Temperatures will drop slightly compared to the day before.
