Frankfurt, Germany’s financial hub, gets around 640 mm (about 25 inches) of rain a year, one of the drier major German cities, with a summer peak from convective thunderstorms typical of the wider Rhine-Main region. These storms can develop quickly on hot, humid afternoons and bring damaging wind gusts and hail alongside heavy rain, occasionally disrupting the city’s major transport hub. Because Frankfurt’s weather can shift rapidly from calm to severe during summer, especially given how much air travel and rail traffic the city handles, radar tracking is a practical tool used well beyond just personal planning. Germany’s national weather service, the DWD, operates the radar network covering the region.
