Suhl today: Many clouds, showers possible – plus gusty wind

In Suhl, Thursday (June 11) will be unsettled. The point forecast for the city in the Thuringian Forest indicates a mostly gloomy day: lots of cloud cover, only brief dry periods, and occasional light rain. In the morning, isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures

Temperatures remain subdued. During the day, values around 13 degrees in the morning and up to 14 degrees at midday are expected. In the evening, temperatures will be around 11 to 13 degrees, and at night around 9 to 11 degrees.

Rain risk peaks at midday

The focus of the unsettled weather is around midday. For midday, a 90 percent chance of rain is forecast, with showers expected. For the night, a high precipitation risk of 90 percent is also indicated. In the evening, things may temporarily calm down: then the rain probability in the forecast drops to 30 percent, before wetter periods are possible again later.

An important note for classification: Depending on the model and data basis, the signals may differ. While the point forecast highlights recurring showers, a regional road weather forecast from the German Weather Service for Suhl (600–800 meters) shows 0 millimeters of precipitation in the 24-hour total. In practice, this means: On site, it may rain briefly without resulting in a significant daily amount – or showers may just miss the city.

DWD warning situation: Local thunderstorms possible

At the same time, the warning situation for Thuringia urges caution: The German Weather Service mentions local thunderstorms from Thursday midday until the evening, some with stormy gusts, heavy rain, and small hail. Whether and where Suhl will be specifically affected can only be assessed more reliably at short notice – thunderstorm cells are often very localized.

Wind remains a defining factor

In addition to the rain, wind plays a central role. It blows from a westerly to southwesterly direction and reaches about 5 to 12 km/h in the base flow. The gusts can be much more noticeable: the forecast indicates 38 to 50 km/h. Together with the dense cloud cover, it quickly feels cooler than the thermometer values suggest.

The sun also has a hard time: sunshine duration is only about one hour.

Overall, this points to a cool, gray, and windy Thursday – with the greatest potential for showers and thunderstorms around midday and again at night. Anyone out and about should plan for a rain jacket and pay particular attention on exposed routes during strong gusts.
