Rainfall is generally 5-10mm, some places over 20mm. During thunderstorms, beware of tornadoes, hail, strong gusts of wind around level 5-7 (8-17m/s), heavy rain causing localized flooding.
The thunderstorms are caused by the stable cold continental high pressure that gradually weakens in intensity. The low pressure trough with its axis through the Central region is compressed, weakened and gradually filled up. Above, the subtropical high pressure in the southern branch weakens. Disturbances above operate better, dominating the South.
