Violent thunderstorm warning for Germany: storms and heavy rain threaten!
On Saturday afternoon, May 3, 2025, there were severe thunderstorms in the middle and south of Germany. This weather development was forecast by the German Weather Service (DWD) and led to considerable weather warnings that should also apply to the night of Sunday, May 4th. Strong thunderstorms and heavy rain were classified as particularly questionable, with the predictions of intensive rainfall and storm fronts reported.
The weather conditions are presented due to an air mass border that shifted from the middle to the south of the country. This border will reach the Alps on Sunday. Cool air polar origin flows from northwest to Germany. These meteorological conditions create a breeding ground for the tremendous storm fronts.

The night of Sunday can be expected over the eastern center and strong thunderstorms in southern Germany. According to the current forecasts, there can be heavy rain of up to 20 liters per square meter in a short time as well as storm gusts with speeds up to 85 km/h.
