Severance alarm in Lower Saxony: Thunderstorms and heavy rain threaten!

The weather in Lower Saxony presents itself extremely changeable in the middle of the week. For July 16, 2025, the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts rain, coupled with the possibility of thunderstorms. The maximum temperatures reach a pleasant 20 degrees. Meteorologist Dominik Jung has analyzed the weather models and states that the inconsistent weather situation is due to a cold front by maritime polar air, which brings a constant up and down for the coming days.

But that's just the beginning: on Thursday, July 17th, and Friday, July 18, it gets only slightly warmer at 24 to 25 degrees. The probability of rain remains high on these days, whereby the weather models sometimes predict different amounts of rain. While the German model is more likely to forecast an eastern course of the rain, the Canadian model sees precipitation of 100 to 140 liters per square meter, especially in the north and northeast - that could get really wet!
