After spring-like temperatures of up to 28 degrees were reached in the first two weeks of the month, a significant drop in temperature is now expected to occur. The previous values were an average of seven degrees above the seasonal averages, which makes the current drop to around ten degrees all the more noticeable.
Severe storms are expected on Monday. “It can get rough here and there, says qualified meteorologist Dominik Jung. 'Even the probability of tornadoes' is significantly increased, says Jung. The German Weather Service also issues a warning, but less about tornadoes and more about storms and gusts of wind. This warning affects the entire country, excluding the north-east and east, and is valid until 2am on Tuesday (April 16). At higher altitudes such as the Alps above 1500 meters, in the Black Forest, and on the Fichtelberg, heavy squalls can be expected. In the higher low mountain ranges, there may be wet snow or sleet.
