Germany is experiencing extreme weather conditions, with heavy rain and thunderstorms causing flooding and damage. A low pressure system named Xania is bringing storms with up to 100 liters of rain per square meter and hail.

Red alerts have been issued in several districts, and there are warnings of severe thunderstorms and hail in some regions. Additionally, high temperatures of up to 37 degrees in the east are increasing the risk of further thunderstorms.

The heavy rain has led to numerous fire brigade operations, including a lightning strike causing a roof fire. The weather is being influenced by high pressure areas over the North Sea and the Alps, as well as the boundary between air masses across the country.

The coming days will see a mix of sunny spells, thunderstorms, and temperatures ranging from 24 to 33 degrees.
