Is autumn already coming? Risk of heavy rain until the beginning of the week
Meteorologists are talking about a "summer monsoon" - an area of high pressure over the Mediterranean and Scandinavia is causing sweltering heat, while a disturbance has settled directly over Germany, causing continuous torrential rain. What is particularly striking is that this type of disturbance hardly moves and remains almost stationary over certain regions. The focus of this weather situation will be over southern Germany over the next few days. The German Weather Service (DWD) is warning of heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms, with up to 150 litres of rain per square metre possible in southern Germany by Tuesday. The thunderstorms at the weekend are mainly concentrated in the southern regions of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. At the beginning of the week, the rain front swings in over the Alps. South of a line from Saarland to Dresden, precipitation is to be expected again and again up to and including Tuesday - partly showery, in places with thunderstorms, hail and strong to stormy gusts. Between the Black Forest and the Bavarian Forest, especially south of the Danube, there is an increased risk of heavy rainfall. Localised flooding and high water may occur. North of a line from Saarland to Saxony, the weather will often be friendlier - with repeated clearings and longer sunny spells. However, occasional showers or isolated thunderstorms are possible. Only temporarily "midsummery" again For Wednesday, 30 July, there are signs of a brief calming of the weather overall: An extension of the Azores High will temporarily push the remaining disturbances eastwards. Large parts of Germany will see more sunshine and temperatures will climb back up to a summery 27 degrees in some places. However, this friendly spell of weather is likely to be short-lived. According to current model calculations, the area of high pressure will not be able to maintain itself in the long term. The overriding weather situation leaves room for new disruptive systems to settle over southern and south-eastern Germany in particular. Big differences within Europe An extreme heatwave over Sweden and Norway is slowly subsiding. In parts near the Arctic Circle, up to 13 consecutive days of heat were measured. However, the heat could return as early as next week. In Portugal, temperatures are currently normal for this time of year and the weather warnings are at "yellow" level. There was a massive heatwave there at the end of June, which apparently led to excess mortality, particularly among older people. Italy is currently enjoying moderate weather, with isolated showers and temperatures of around 25 degrees. In Spain, there are currently frequent showers in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, but it is hot in the south of the country, with temperatures of 34-36 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in Spain are generally lower compared to other years.

How much rain did south-central Kansas get? Here are totals for Wichita, other spots
Some areas of Kansas saw heavy rains late Thursday and overnight Friday. Wichita saw a much lower amount than other areas of the state, with 0.64 inches falling since Thursday morning. About 0.16 inches of that fell since midnight. There were no reports of flooding in Wichita, which had been a concern in the forecast. One report near the area of the Ninnescah River that flows into Cheney Lake, where Wichita gets its water, saw 4.42 inches of rain during Thursday and Friday morning. 'That is definitely something of note,' said Scott Smith, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Wichita. Wichitans have had restrictions on water use during a drought. But levels at Cheney Lake have been rising because of recent rains. More rain is forecast Friday too. The effect of these rains on lake levels is not yet know. Cheney was 96.62% full at a measurement taken Monday. Here is a look at rainfall around the state on Thursday and overnight into Friday: A station in Butler County measured 3.65 inches of rain Thursday and then 0.42 inches since midnight Friday. A station 10 miles southwest of Hutchinson measured 2.34 inches of rain since midnight Friday and 0.04 inches on Thursday. There was some flooding in Rice County, Smith said. Quarter-sized hail was reported in Newton around 8:45 p.m. Thursday. So far this month, as measured at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, Wichita has had 3.86 inches of rain. Wichita has had 27.54 inches of rain so far this year compared to the normal 30-year running average of 20.64 inches, NWS data shows. Solve the daily Crossword
