Severe thunderstorms in Saxony: There is a threat of severe weather on Monday night!

A hot Sunday will be crowned on June 22, 2025 with a noticeable cooling down at night. A weather situation that has it all: A high pressure area over Austria and Hungary brings hot land air to Saxony, while during the night the cold front of a northern sea low moves across the state from the northwest. The result? Severe thunderstorms are on the way and the warnings have already been issued.

It gets uncomfortable around midnight when the thunderstorms move from west to east across Saxony. Even a strong storm could cause grass to grow overnight in various regions of the Saxon countryside. Residents should expect heavy rain of up to 25 liters per square meter, especially in the second half of the night. This is accompanied by gusts of up to 85 km/h, which can even reach gusts of up to 110 km/h. Small-grain hail is also possible. If you think that's all, you should know that there is also talk of hail of 2 cm - that sounds like a restless night that could hit some parts of the country hard. The media portal Grimma reports on the uncertainty: “It doesn’t affect everyone”.

The severe weather center shows that the danger situation is not just limited to thunderstorms. Via their website, citizens can access maps that illustrate severe weather risks in various regions such as the Leipzig Lowland Bay and the Ore Mountains.

The colors orange, red and violet also provide information about the severity of the storm - from moderate to extreme storms.
