Hesse has to endure heat waves and thunderstorms! This is how you protect yourself!
In the coming days, Hesse is in for a real weather game. Anyone who ventures out onto the streets today, June 14, 2025, should be prepared for everything – from hot rays of sunshine to heavy showers. As the Frankfurter Neue Presse reports, the German Weather Service (DWD) has issued heat warnings warning of a heat wave in which temperatures between 31 and 35 degrees are expected, while in higher regions it will remain closer to 28 degrees.
Mostly sunny weather is forecast for this Friday, with temperatures potentially rising to 34 degrees. However, citizens should be prepared for a surprising change in the weather, as thunderstorms and heavy rain could be expected towards the evening. On Sunday night, not only heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain are on the agenda, but also possible hail showers and strong squalls.
Warnings and precautionary tips
The Hessian State Office for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) brings the shady sides of this weather situation into play: They warn of possible floods that could result from the heavy rainfall. A good reason to find out about your own safety in good time. The natural hazards portal DWD not only offers current warnings, but also interactive maps for risk analysis. This gives citizens the opportunity to obtain targeted information about extreme weather events such as heavy rain, storms and floods.
The space-saving use of the portal means that households and communities are made aware of impending dangers in good time. For example, anyone who is concerned could find out about suitable protective measures against flooding. Sensitive people should be careful even without official warnings, as heat exposure can affect health, as shown on heatwarnings.de is emphasized.
A look into the weather future
On Saturday the sun will shine early in the morning, but clouds will move in as the day progresses, bringing with them the risk of showers and hot thunderstorms. Sunday will delight us with varying to very cloudy weather and further showers and thunderstorms, so that an umbrella will probably become a constant companion.
The well-intentioned advice for the coming days is clear: drink plenty, stay in the shade and pay attention to local weather reports. Since the heat warnings mainly apply to the Rhine-Main area, you have to expect that the temperatures in northern Hesse will be milder; there are only warnings in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.
With a watchful eye on the weather conditions, the Hessians will hopefully remain unscathed through these changeable days.
