Everyone has certainly experienced this for themselves at some point: right now, in the peak summer months of July and August, it is often warm and even hot - and very dry. Not a cloud of rain clouds the blue sky. As a gardener you can't keep up with the watering cans - and the farmers complain about bad harvests because of the drought. The danger of forest fires is also increasing - we hear it constantly on the news.

A good downpour or even a summer thunderstorm comes in handy - doesn't it?
On the one hand, yes - but these weather conditions harbor another danger that you might not immediately think of: heavy rain with extremely high amounts of water in a small space, i.e. at least 25 liters per square meter in one hour.
