The storms can last until late in the evening, around 10 p.m. However, there are greater uncertainties regarding the spatial extent and focus of these weather events.

But a significant change in the weather was announced in the form of a dense rain front that, according to the DWD, is heading towards the region.

In addition, the official severe weather warning that was announced earlier today will initially be in effect until 6 p.m., but a possible update from the DWD is to be expected.

For Sunday, variable to very cloudy weather with initially decreasing rainfall is forecast, while maximum temperatures will reach 11 to 15 degrees.
