Severe Weather Looms Over Germany Amid Heatwave

Germany braces for a significant heatwave, with temperatures soaring up to 35 degrees Celsius across various regions. As people prepare for the intense heat, meteorologists warn of severe thunderstorms expected to follow by the weekend. The German Weather Service highlights the potential for a 'pretty big bang' as a cold front is set to end the heat spell, bringing storms with heavy rain and hail, especially in the west and south.

Bavaria faces up to 35 degrees, particularly affecting areas like Kitzingen, Aschaffenburg, and Würzburg. Authorities urge precautions against health risks such as heatstroke, advocating for hydration and sun protection.

In Berlin and Brandenburg, sunny weather with highs of 30 degrees invites outdoor activities, but residents should remain cautious of the impending weather shift.

Travelers, particularly in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, face potential traffic jams due to holiday traffic. The ADAC advises traveling during cooler hours and staying prepared for the heat. As the country anticipates both scorching heat and subsequent storms, careful planning and precautionary measures are crucial.
