Pentecost 2025: Thunderstorm chaos and hail threaten across the country!

The Pentecost weekend 2025 is characterized by inconsistent weather, which is characterized by thunderstorms, heavy rain and cool temperatures. A distinctive change in weather is expected, especially on Saturday, June 7th, which is most pronounced in the western and northern parts of the country. Kosmo reports that the thunderstorms in the northern Alps can gain intensity and that they have to be expected locally with hail and heavy rain. At temperatures between 21 and 32 degrees, which are particularly achieved in the east and southeast, an uncomfortable start to the Pentecost weekend is expected.

Pentecost Sunday does not bring much improvement, with mostly cloudy weather and continuing precipitation on the alpine north side and in the east. In the south and southeast it could be sunny at first, but here too there are strong shower and thunderstorms during the day. The maximum values ​​are between 14 and 22 degrees on Sunday. On Whit Monday, the weather calming from Western Europe is finally expected to be weathered, whereby the day should be rather friendly in most areas.

weather warnings and previous storm

The inconsistent weather conditions are not the only problem. As reported op-online, the storms already led to damage in Ulm, with German weather service (DWD) Possible Tornado causes. For Saturday, warnings of stormy weather, crashing branches and heavy rain were published, and stormy gusts near showers can also be expected for Sunday.

The weather forecasts for Whit Monday show a mixed picture: While the north and east mostly have to calculate, the south and southwest should remain sunny and dry. However, this could only be a short breather, because from Friday, June 13th, slightly unstable weather with showers is expected, while even longer dry phases are not excluded. Future warm temperatures up to over 30 degrees should not be missing.

climate change and extreme weather

These inconsistent weather conditions and extreme weather events are not only short -term phenomena. According to a report by the [wwf] (https://www.wwf.de/themen-projekt/klimapolitz/limapolitik-international/klimaf research-exterwetter-sind-folgen-des-des-Klimawandel), they are increasingly a result of climate change. The surface temperature of the earth rises at a pace that has never been seen before, and the increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rain, extreme heat or storms is directly linked to global warming.

A new report by the World Climate (IPCC) states that human activities and the increasing CO2 concentration contributed significantly to tightening these weather phenomena. Forecasts indicate that the frequency of extremely weather -dependent events that used to occur in a hundred years could become the new normality in the near future. Therefore, protection against these extreme events and adaptation to climate change is essential to alleviate the long -term effects on people and the environment.
