The end of August contrasts sharply with its beginning: if in most parts of Europe the beginning of the month was marked by high temperatures, with record or above-average temperatures recorded in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France or Germany, among others, bringing End of August Low temperatures, rain and even storms.
Germany has witnessed bad weather in recent days. Bavaria has been particularly affected since last week by strong winds and rain. The storm toppled buildings, damaged homes, flooded and flooded streets and roads, cutting off circulation, smashing cars, downing trees, and leveling farmland and crops. Hail fell in some areas, affected by very strong hurricane winds.
On social media, you can see the effects of the storm that hit Germany, which prompted some regions to declare a state of disaster.

Bad weather is also felt, for example in the UK, where a water column has been recorded on the Isle of Wighter.
And in Spain, on the island of Mallorca, the sun and rising temperatures gave way to torrential rain with winds of more than 100 kilometers per hour, which startled tourists and locals (and closed their homes). Catalonia was also affected by rain and strong winds.
