Temperatures of up to 28 degrees were reached in the first two weeks of April. The previous values were an average of seven degrees above the seasonal averages.
A significant drop in temperature will characterize the entire next week. Severe storms are expected on Monday, and the probability of tornadoes is significantly increased. The German Weather Service also issues a warning, but less about tornadoes and more about storms and gusts of wind. It will remain cool in the following days, with a mix of showers, thunderstorms, clouds and wind, but also occasional sunny spells. “There are no more summer days in sight,” explained meteorologist Dominik Jung. Nevertheless, winter is not imminent. ‘Snow usually only falls in significant quantities from 1000 m above sea level, and that’s in the Alps,’ he said.. With the second half of April the summer weather says goodbye. The current drop to around ten degrees is all the more noticeable. It can get pretty rough.
