These upheavals will lead to significantly increased thunderstorm and heavy rain activity, which will cause excitement on Sunday afternoon and evening, especially in the east and south. Heavy rain of over 40 l/sqm in a short period of time is to be feared, as are hail and squalls, which can occur with wind speeds of up to 85 km/h. On Monday night the danger worsens with further strong thunderstorms. WetterOnline has published similar reports that....

There are some helpful recommendations for the population: Spending time outdoors should be avoided and especially kept away from bodies of water.

Overall, the situation should be taken seriously. It is important to be vigilant and prepare for the impending storms early on. Stay informed and heed the warnings from the relevant authorities. Even though the weather is often unpredictable, you should be well prepared.
