The turbulent weather in Frankfurt and the rest of the federal state will be influenced by a low pressure area over Ireland, which will lead “very warm and humid air” to Hesse, according to the forecast by the German Weather Service (DWD).
The result: From the afternoon, there will be individual, strong thunderstorms, preferably from the Odenwald via the eastern and northern half of the state, which could bring heavy rain of up to 25 liters per square meter and hail and gusts of wind with up to 80 km/h.
“Locally limited” there is even a risk of severe weather from heavy rain with up to 35 liters per square meter and larger hail.
