Some regions could be hit by further heavy rainfall, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) on Thursday – though experts are still unsure where exactly these showers could strike. ‘No all-clear’ for more extreme weatherOn Thursday, the DWD spoke of the previous week’s catastrophe as an “event of the century”. According to climate experts, an unusually large number of stations in the west all simultaneously broke weather records due to the sheer amount of rainfall. According to existing weather records, the most intense and heavy rainfall usually occurs between May and September in Germany – meaning it could still be too early to give the all-clear. “It can be assumed that there will be more extreme weather events in 2021,” DWD confirmed.
