The values are only between 8 and 12 degrees in the north. There are showers again and again and sleet thunderstorms are expected. Snow showers can even occur in the mountains. The south reaches temperatures of 10 to 16 degrees and the west 9 to 13 degrees. In the east, too, it looks similar with 10 to 14 degrees. On Saturday and Sunday, the values continue to decline, it remains changeable.

Two rare beltfish were caught off the coast of Japan. The animals are seen as harbingers of disaster in Japan and have been sighted by fishermen several times in the past twelve months.
Fishermen have caught two specimens of the rare beltfish off the coast of the Japanese island of Okinawa, which are considered harbingers of bad luck in Japan. The fishermen were surprised when they found the huge, snake-shaped animals that normally occur at great depths alive. “Before, I had only heard stories about these fish,” said Takashi Yamauchi of the Yomitan Fisheries Association of the AFP news agency. “When I saw her in the harbor, I was pretty scared.”
The two meter-long animals – the larger one was four meters – died on the way to an aquarium. Oyster fish are called “Ryugu no tsukai” in Japanese – ambassadors of the Palace of the Sea King. According to popular belief, the fish, which normally live at a depth of between 200 and 1,000 meters, seek shallower waters before seaquakes.

According to Japanese media reports, in the run-up to the severe earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, around 18,500 fatalities had occurred in a number of beltfish sightings. In the past twelve months, around a dozen of the rare animals have washed ashore on Japanese coasts. This sparked speculation on social media that new calamities were imminent.

It’s getting uncomfortable and there is still no improvement in sight. A cold and wet May weekend is ahead. The brief onset of winter even brings smoothness.
Trips to the outdoor pool or the beer garden fall into the water first. According to forecasts by MeteoGroup, the weather will not get any better at first. In the south, the maximum values are therefore a fresh 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. In large parts of Germany, temperatures remain in the single digits.
According to the information, it remains changeable in the night from Friday to Saturday. After more showers, new rain clouds come in from the west. On the coasts and in the North Rhine-Westphalia area, showers occur again and again, moving from Lower Saxony over Thuringia. The snow line in the central low mountain range is 400 meters. There are temperatures around the frost area.
The maximum values reach Konstanz, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Saarbrücken at night with 7 degrees. The coldest is -3 degrees on the Brocken. The north comes to 4 degrees, the east to 5 degrees and in the west, Cologne area, 6 degrees are expected.
Sleet showers bring smoothness
On Saturday it is mostly cloudy in the southern half. The snow line in the western central mountain region is 400 to 600 meters. Sun and thick clouds alternate. “This can lead to more rain or sleet showers and individual thunderstorms from the north-west cannot be ruled out,” says weather expert Carsten Raymund from MeteoGroup. The longest sunshine is in the coastal area.123helpme.me
“Very locally, if the intensity is right, the snow and sleet showers can lead to slippery conditions,” warns Raymund. This applies to areas in North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia and the Ore Mountains. Values between 3 degrees in Thuringia and 12 degrees in Bavaria are achieved. There are 11 degrees in the north, 10 degrees in the east and 7 degrees in the west.
There are thunderstorms on Sunday
Sunday will probably impress with a mix of sun and clouds. From the west south of the Danube, there are repeated showers and isolated thunderstorms. Above 500 to 800 meters, rain is mixed with snow in the foothills of the Alps. During the course of the day, the showers from the northwest continue to sweep across Germany. The temperatures are between 2 degrees in Oberwiesenthal and 14 degrees in Berlin on the Müggelsee. In the north we reach values of 11 degrees, in the west 12 degrees and in the south of Bavaria there are 7 degrees.

It looks similar on Monday. Showers are coming in from the north and it continues to rain on Tuesday night. A ray of hope remains: “The sunny phases are slowly picking up again,” says Raymund. However, it remains fresh at temperatures of 6 to 12 degrees. Tuesday looks much better again with 9 to 16 degrees and the values are gradually approaching the normal range.

Clouds, rain and strong winds shape the weather in Germany. As if by divine providence, however, the south remains dry and warm – to the delight of visitors to the Oktoberfest in Munich.
Wind and rain determine the weather on the weekend – but the sun shines over Munich Oktoberfest. “After last weekend was sunny and warm for many thanks to the influence of high pressure, low pressure areas bring a lot of clouds, rain and strong winds this weekend,” said meteorologist Jacqueline Kernn. Then it gets stormy.
“Only the south of Germany has favorable weather conditions,” said Kernn. “Visitors to the Munich Oktoberfest can look forward to a sunny and largely dry Oktoberfest. With the support of the foehn wind, the temperature on Sunday rises to a summery 25 degrees.” Everywhere else it ends at a maximum of 15 to 20 degrees.
Stormy gusts in the mountains and on the coasts
The wind is “a big issue” at the weekend, said the meteorologist. Already on Saturday there are stormy gusts in the mountains and on the coasts. On Sunday night the wind eases a bit, but on Sunday things continue lively in the west. “In the mountainous region and on the North Sea coast, squalls up to heavy gusts can be expected,” says the weather service.

On Monday the wind increased a bit: “Stormy gusts, gusts of wind, heavy gusts of wind up to gusts of wind” listed the DWD as possible scenarios. “The development of the depression and the exact track are still uncertain. It is therefore advisable to follow the warnings and reports from the German Weather Service.”

A stranded oil tanker off Mauritius could cause a devastating environmental disaster. Now we have to act quickly. France and the United Nations responded immediately.

International aid starts in the impending environmental disaster off Mauritius. The United Nations coordinate and make its knowledge available on site. The UN in Mauritius would work closely with the government to cope with the crisis, it said in a message from the UN Emergency Relief Office Ocha.
Mauritius had previously declared an environmental emergency because of an oil tanker that ran aground off its coast. Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth asked France for help in combating the impending environmental disaster. “Our country does not have the skills and expertise to get stranded ships afloat again,” he said on Twitter. France complied with the request for help on Saturday.
The freighter “Wakashio”, which belongs to a Japanese company and sails under the Panamanian flag, ran aground on July 25 with around 4,000 tons of fuel on board off the southeast coast of the island nation. The 20 crew members could be brought to safety. However, oil is currently running unhindered into the sea from a leak in the ship’s side. You can see recordings of the tanker in the video above or here.
The scene of the accident is near nature reserves
Environmentalists fear a disaster, the scene of the accident is near two nature reserves. The oil threatens to pollute the coral reefs, lagoons and white sand beaches for which the island is famous as a tourist destination. Aerial photos showed that large parts of the turquoise-blue water were already polluted.

According to a spokesman for Japanese operator Mitsui OSK Lines, an attempt was made to bring the oil from the freighter by helicopter. However, bad weather hampers the work, said the spokesman in Tokyo. The company also tried to prevent the oil from spreading by blocking the water. Because of the heavy swell “it doesn’t work well”.
Mauritius is dependent on its coasts
France sent experts and equipment to curb pollution to Mauritius from neighboring Reunion Island on Saturday. “If biodiversity is in danger, urgent action must be taken,” said French President Emmanuel Macron on Twitter.

The island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is famous for its picturesque beaches. It is highly dependent on its coastal areas – not only because of the fishing, but also because the coral reefs are among the most beautiful in the world and attract many tourists.

Hawaii – paradise for surfers and sun worshipers. Tourists currently vacationing on the islands in the Pacific have been surprised by a storm. Including snow.
A storm low caused a nasty surprise in Hawaii. Strong winds with speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour cut the power supply in some places, caused trees to buckle, pushed masses of water to the coasts – and brought snow to locations where it had never been seen before.
Although snow is not uncommon in Hawaii, the fact that a blanket of snow has formed in the “Polipoli Spring State” national park on Maui is a novelty, officials told the Daily Mail. There has never been such a low snow cover in the American state.

Responsible is a so-called “Kona Low”, a seasonal cyclone in the form of a low pressure area. These are typical for Hawaii in the winter months. The strength with which the cyclone has now hit the islands is unusual.

The week starts warm and sunny: On Tuesday, the previous heat record of the year could fall. After that, however, summer takes a break for the time being: It’s getting cooler and rainy.
On Monday and Tuesday the motto in Germany is: there’s plenty of sun, it’s getting really warm. But then a low pressure area pulls in. The cold front brings thunderstorms, rain and it cools down significantly.
Monday brings the maximum amount of sun that is possible at this time of the year, explains weather expert Dirk Thiele from Meteogroup to t-online.de. Up to 16 hours are possible. “Sun protection is becoming the highest civic duty,” says the meteorologist. A few clouds can only be found in the Oder-Neisse area and in eastern Bavaria – but it remains dry there too. While it remains around 21 degrees on the coasts with a bit of wind, it is already getting really warm in the west: In Cologne the thermometer rises to 28 or maybe even 29 degrees.
Tuesday could become “Tropical Day”
The previous heat record for this year could fall on Tuesday: With a bit of luck it will be a “tropical day”, says Thiele, a day with over 30 degrees. “We haven’t had that this year.” There are opportunities for this, especially on the Rhine – the mark could be cracked both in the direction of Breisgau and in the Ruhr area.
But it is also getting warm in the rest of the country: “The sun had time on Monday to warm the ground,” explains the meteorologist. He describes the southeast as a “cool corner” – but even here 25 degrees are expected. While some harmless veil clouds will probably appear in the sky all over Germany, a few drops can also fall in the east. / p
