Severe storms cause hail and flooding in Germany.

Severe storms hit several states in Germany, causing heavy rains, damaging winds, and flooding. The German Weather Service warned of a heightened risk of tornados, storms, and extreme hail due to the movement of a patch of low pressure and the presence of muggy and hot subtropical air. Transport services were disrupted, roofs were ripped off, and trees fell onto parked cars. The DWD expects heavy rain storms and localized storms with hailstones of about 5 centimeters in diameter possible and severe gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour. There is a heightened risk of tornados in central parts of Germany.
