Moving weather in Berlin: led by thunderstorms and rain!

The weather on weekends in the region is under the sign of interchangability. According to the latest forecasts of the German Weather Service (DWD), temperatures between 23 and 25 degrees are already announced for Friday, whereby there can be showing in the evening, thunderstorms and heavy rain. At night, the temperature will drop to tolerable 14 to 16 degrees. But that's not all! The sky is cloudy on Saturday, the temperatures then only move between 20 and 22 degrees, and rain and thunderstorms are also noted in the prediction. For Sunday, the Cologne residents can count on an increase to up to 24 degrees, although the weather remains unstable. [stern.de] (https://www.stern.de/sgesellschaft/regional/berlin-brandenburg/wetter-change-offs-wetter-am-wochende-35885126.html) reports that the recovery of storm damage is expected after the weekend.

But while the temperatures still sound quite pleasant, there is also a concern that should not be unnoticed: the risk of forest fire. This will be reduced to the lowest level throughout Brandenburg on Saturday. In the districts of Elbe-Elster and Prignitz, however, there was still a medium danger on Friday. The Brandenburg Ministry of the Environment dominates the warnings and specifies the forest fire hazard index in five stages. wetterfahren.de emphasizes that the assessment of the forest fire risk is based on several factors, including air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and the precipitation rate.

The importance of the forest fire threat index

The DWD's forest fire index (WBI) serves the state authorities as an important orientation aid. It describes the meteorological potential for forest fires and provides information about the risk in five stages: from very low danger (level 1) to very high danger (level 5). The situation in Brandenburg is particularly explosive because the region has one of the highest forest fire threats in Germany. The main reason for this are the sandy floors and the pine forests, which are particularly susceptible due to low precipitation, as the DWD explains. dwd.de provides detailed information on the forest fire threat index and the associated warnings.

With a good hand, the authorities can react to the changing weather conditions and warn farmers and forest visitors accordingly. Anyone who thinks that only hot summer days favor forest fires is wrong. Even moist but warm weather can ignite fire in combination with windy conditions. The WBI is updated every day around 5:00 UTC, which means that people always have the latest information about the risk.

TOKEN THE TO THE TO THE TODIES. Despite the impending weather, many people will use the beautiful summer weekend to enjoy nature - whether with a trip to the forest or a picnic in the park. It is only to be hoped that the weather will play and the risk of forest fire will remain low!
