Thunderstorms and heavy rain: NRW faces an uncomfortable start to the weather!
What a start to the week for North Rhine-Westphalia! Today, July 8, 2025, thunderstorms will take place and will bring some severe storms. Loud calf Thunderstorm warnings for some regions have been extended until 6 p.m. on July 7th. The Euskirchen district, the city of Bonn and parts of Siegburg, Olpe, Siegen, Höxter and the Oberbergische district are particularly affected. Even though the storm front has largely passed away, the south remains under warning until 5 p.m.
Rainfall amounts of up to 15 liters per square meter per hour could heat things up. The weather situation is changeable, and the gusts of wind are not negligible either - they reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. On Monday the maximum temperatures remained mild between 17 and 21 degrees, the fresh summit areas cooled to a maximum of 14 degrees.
Looking ahead to the next few days
Similar temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees and occasional showers are expected for today, Tuesday. But from Wednesday there will be almost no precipitation, with temperatures settling between 20 and 23 degrees. On Thursday, July 10th, we even expect values between 20 and 24 degrees in the lower altitudes; while in higher regions it remains a little fresher, at around 17 degrees. Local fog is also forecast for Friday night, which could make driving a bit exciting.
The weather situation also has its positive sides: the rain helps reduce the risk of forest fires. However, the risk of drought remains, as the drought monitor shows. Improvements in soil moisture are only noticeable up to the top soil area (25 cm) - the rest of the soil continues to struggle with drought.
