Changeable June weekend in Berlin and Brandenburg: first sun, then thunderstorms

Weather change on Saturday afternoon

The night into Sunday remained unsettled. "During the night into Sunday, it will be cloudy to heavily cloudy, with some rain falling at times and in some areas," said the meteorologists. Temperatures dropped: "Temperatures will fall to 15 to 12 degrees."

Sunday itself also presented a mixed picture. "It will remain cloudy, with showers passing through at times," was the forecast. "In the afternoon and evening, individual thunderstorms are also possible" – those planning excursions had to expect interruptions.

Clouds, showers, and thunderstorms on Sunday

According to the DWD, the high temperatures on Sunday were subdued: "The highs will be between 21 and 24 degrees." This was noticeably cooler than the previous day.

The weather service recommended closely monitoring further developments. Locally, thunderstorms could be more intense, especially in the afternoon and evening. For the coming days, an unsettled weather pattern was announced overall, typical for June in the region.

The Berlin and Brandenburg region lies in an area where warm and cold air masses often alternate in early summer. This favors the formation of showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. Similar weather phenomena are also expected in the surrounding areas, such as the Harz mountains or Saxony-Anhalt.

Weather service advice

Overall, the weekend showed a typical June mix: pleasant phases in the morning, followed by increasing cumulus clouds and local thunderstorms. The temperature differences between the two days made the changeability particularly evident.

The DWD advised seeking shelter indoors during thunderstorms and avoiding open areas and individual trees. Temporary visibility impairments could also occur in road traffic during heavy rain. The exact path of the thunderstorms could only be predicted at short notice, according to the DWD.

No stable summer weather was initially announced for the new week. Temperatures are likely to remain at Sunday's level, and further showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

The news was distributed via the dpa news channel. "This is a message directly from the dpa news channel," it stated.

Overall, it must be noted: The first June weekend in Berlin and Brandenburg was not a consistently sunny summer weekend, but brought a classic mix of warmth, clouds, and thunderstorms.
