Essen (dpa / lnw) – First mostly sunny and warm, then showers and thunderstorms: People in North Rhine-Westphalia can expect a two-part weather situation at the weekend. While most people can initially look forward to pleasant summer days, it will be widely uncomfortable on Sunday, as a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Essen said. On Friday and Saturday there is a lot of sun and it is summery warm with a maximum of 22 to 27 degrees. Only in the south are isolated showers or thunderstorms possible over the course of the evening.
On Sunday, on the other hand, there will be widespread showery rain and thunderstorms with sometimes stormy gusts. There is also a local risk of severe weather from heavy rain – with maximum temperatures of 21 to 24 degrees. Even at the beginning of the week it remained changeable, said the DWD expert. Although the weather calmed down a little on Monday, there could still be brief thunderstorms. In addition, it will be cooler again.
