A violent storm front is rolling into Baden-Württemberg - warning from the DWD!
On May 28, 2025, a thunderstorm front will roll towards Baden-Württemberg, which will bring significant weather changes for the region. On Wednesday afternoon, the German Weather Service (DWD) expects the weather to deteriorate, which will be noticeable into the night. The extensive warning from the DWD includes heavy showers and thunderstorms, which can bring heavy rain, hail and strong squalls. In addition, the amount of rain is expected to be up to 25 liters per square meter, while in the Black Forest up to 30 liters are possible locally, reports the Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
The thunderstorm front will move across the region from the northwest from the late afternoon and will vary in intensity. However, it is unclear whether the heavy rains will lead to flooding. A positive aspect of the coming rainy weather is seen in the hope that it will bring relief to nature after a period of drought, although experts emphasize that more rain is needed.
Weather conditions and forecasts
From the late afternoon onwards the weather in Baden-Württemberg will be uncomfortable, according to the local weather warning from all-in.de. The upcoming intense thunderstorms may vary in intensity locally; While showers may occur in one place, it may remain calm just ten kilometers away. Only light rain is possible on Thursday morning, but no significant precipitation. The sun is expected to shine only rarely.
In addition to current weather conditions, long-term climate changes are important for the region. According to information from starkregenfähr.de, we learn that heavy rain and river flooding are natural weather events that have shaped the landscape of Germany for thousands of years. Climate change is causing significant changes, such as an average temperature increase of 1.4°C over the last 135 years. These developments influence the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events.
Climate change and its effects
An analysis by the DWD from 2016 shows that changes in precipitation in Germany are difficult to record. Radar data allows for more precise analysis, particularly in the summer months, while winter statistics document an increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall by up to 25% over the periods from 1951 to 2006.
The risk of heavy rain events is increasing and scientists agree that Germany must prepare for an increase in extreme weather events. It is crucial that both authorities and individuals take responsibility to address the impacts of climate change.
