weather extreme in Saarland: maximum temperatures and upcoming storms

In Saarland we experience a clear weather transition. On Wednesday, July 31, 2024, temperatures of up to 33 degrees Celsius are expected after a previous fresh air exchange at night. This leads to a heat wave that, especially for the elderly and people in need of care, carries health risks.

heat warnings in Saarland for various regions

The German Weather Service (DWD) issued extreme heat warnings for several counties in Saarland. These apply to the following districts:

  • district of Merzig-Wadern
  • district of St. Wendel
  • Landkreis Saarlouis
  • district of Neunkirchen
  • regional association Saarbrücken
  • Saarpfalz-Kreis

The recommendations of the DWD are clear: citizens should consume enough fluid, keep their own living rooms cool and avoid direct sunlight as far as possible. In view of the health risks due to the heat, this advice is particularly important.

Weather turn: thunderstorms and gusts of gusts on the approach

During the day with high summer temperatures, the DWD announces a significant change in weather. From the afternoon afternoon, an increased risk of thunderstorms that could bring heavy rain, hail and gusts of wind are expected. In particular, “individual storms” are predicted with extreme heavy rain, which could also tighten the situation.

personal caution in times of extreme weather

In view of the specific storm risk, which is expected, especially in the afternoon and evening, the residents should be vigilant. It is advisable to reduce outdoor activities and adjust to a possible change in weather. The nightly temperatures should drop at 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, which brings a relief after a hot day.

outlook on weather development in Saarland

The weather forecasts show that the inconsistent conditions could also last next Thursday. The temperature is expected to be around 29 degrees and again thunderstorms have the opportunity to appear in many places. These changeable weather conditions continue until the weekend, so that the region should be prepared for further precipitation and thunderstorms.

The continued weather extreme shows the need for the residents of the Saarland to proactively adjust to changeable weather conditions and to take appropriate precautions.
