Weather – Happening now, Online now.
The temperatures currently in central Europe are very nice and warm, partially considered “summer days” in the statistics (>25°C). This nice weather will continue in the coming days – but then a drop in temperature is expected. Below is the trend for Berlin, but it will look very similar in most of central Europe:
The cold weather with many showers is good for something at least in Berlin: rainbows. Here are two photos that were taken in the afternoon of the 27th of April.
Roughly the northwestern third of central Europe might be affected by thunderstorms today. In northwestern Germany these thunderstorms are expected to bring sleet and possible snow, therefore causing dangerous conditions on the roads. Further, large amounts of small hail may fall, and storm gusts are to be expected in the thunderstorms and showers. The risk of tornados is also slightly increased.
ESTOFEX (European Storm Forecast Experiment) has issued a level 2 warning for southwestern France. According to the forecast, the main risks in possible severe thunderstorms are large hail, storm gusts and possibly tornados. Around the level 2 and towards the northwest, including southern France, Switzerland, Austria and southern Germany, a level one was issued. Main risks here are also large hail and storm gusts as well as a slightly increased possibility for tornados. For the same risks, a level 1 was also issued in southeastern Poland. In the northwestern Iberian peninsula, ESTOFEX also issued a level 1, with the main risks being strong rain, storm gusts and large hail.
