A high-pressure system over Scandinavia is bringing warm maritime air to southwestern Germany, resulting in pleasant weather conditions.

Starting mid-week, temperatures are expected to rise between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius, with sunny skies enhancing outdoor activities.

The upcoming weekend will continue to be pleasantly warm, with temperatures ranging from 17 to 24 degrees Celsius.

Friday is forecasted to be clear and dry, with maximum temperatures reaching 22 to 25 degrees Celsius, while mountainous areas will be cooler at around 20 degrees.

However, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for thunder, lightning, and heavy rain across much of the UK from Friday to Sunday.

Accumulations of 20-40mm of rain in less than an hour are possible, particularly affecting the Midlands, southern England, and east Wales.

There is speculation that these pleasant late summer days may soon come to an end as weather forecasts indicate a transition.

The term 'Altweibersommer' describes a high-pressure weather pattern typically occurring between mid-September and early October, characterized by warm, dry days.

While a low-pressure system may affect Germany over the weekend, significant rainfall or drastic temperature drops are not anticipated in the immediate future.

The Met Office anticipates that rain may continue into the following week, though likely at a reduced intensity.

In Germany, rain is anticipated to start on Sunday, with potential precipitation of 4-5 liters per square meter, signaling a notable weather change.

A shift in weather patterns is expected to begin on September 24, bringing increased rainfall and marking the end of the pleasant weather.
