“Wet sponge” in the weather in Germany: Humidity in the air leads to more rain and thunderstorms
The DWD warns that warm, humid air masses are causing larger amounts of rainfall in regions. In some places there can be rainfall amounts of 40 to 50 liters per square meter in a short period of time. The sewer system is then unable to absorb the water masses. This leads to flooding.
The reason for the changeable weather situation is the “stationary weather.” This means that the low pressure areas only move a little. This leads to violent thunderstorms in the same places again and again. “There is a lot of precipitable water in the atmosphere – and it wants to come out. It is squeezed out like a sponge,” explained Jung. “Hence the regional risk of heavy rain” – until June. (hk)
