It wasn’t just hot on Friday and Saturday in NRW. It’s supposed to be hot again on Sunday. Daytime temperatures can reach 35 degrees again in some places. In the second half of the day there will be thunderstorms – with the potential for severe weather.
Thunderstorm front in the second half of the day
The WDR weather department expects a “very muggy” and therefore “oppressively hot” Sunday. The day starts with lots of sun. Coming from France, a thunderstorm front is moving over the Netherlands to NRW in the second half of the day.
For the afternoon, the weather models in the west predict local, very heavy showers and thunderstorms with gusts of wind (up to 100 kilometers per hour).
These major events could also be affected:
The organizers of Finals As a precaution, Rhein-Ruhr have brought some competitions forward CSD-Demo in Cologne could be affected. The organizers are sticking to their plans so far.
Storm gusts of up to 120 kilometers per hour
In the early evening, a wide band of thunderstorms and heavy gusts of wind (up to 120 km/h in the north) will move from the Tecklenburger Land via the Soester Börde to Oberberg and to Siegen-Wittgenstein.
In the evening, the storm clouds move over the Mindener Land to Lower Saxony – with wind gusts of up to 100 km/h.
But that’s not all. In the late evening and during the night, a second, smaller line of thunderstorms will move from west to east over NRW. However, this one does not have the potential for severe weather like the first.
Danger from UV radiation on Sunday “medium” to “high”
After Information from the German Weather Service the health risk from UV radiation is again “high” in large parts of NRW on Sunday – but in some cases only “medium”.
“UV exposure is always high when we have a clear, cloudless sky.” Andreas Wagner, ARD meteorologist
One reason for the high UV radiation is of course the high position of the sun in summer, explains meteorologist Andreas Wagner from the ARD weather competence center. In addition: “The bluer the sky, the less moisture there is that blocks the sun’s rays.”
