Germany's Summer Weather Forecast: Rain, Thunder, and Unexpected Snow

Germany's weather this week is marked by instability, characterized by a mix of sun, clouds, showers, and thunderstorms. The anticipated summer warmth remains elusive, with temperatures only reaching between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius.

On Tuesday, the northern, western, and southeastern regions face heavy rain and thunder, while the southwest enjoys slightly sunnier conditions. The forecast indicates continued unsettled weather, with significant rainfall expected along the North Sea coast, particularly on Thursday.

Worryingly, some weather models predict cold spells and even snowfall in higher regions, such as the Zugspitze, extending into early August. This discouraging outlook prompts recommendations for travelers to seek sunnier destinations, such as the Canary Islands, as Germany endures a prolonged period of wet and cool weather.
