The German Weather Service is issuing a severe weather warning for North Rhine-Westphalia: There may be strong thunderstorms and heavy rain on Friday afternoon and evening. In some places it is expected to pour up to 25 liters of rain per hour – in some places even over 40 liters per square meter. Weather that makes you want to stay at home. However, music fans are praying that the storms will pass by Saturday evening. There are two Bad Bunny concerts on the program at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf on Saturday (June 20th) and Sunday (June 21st). Do fans have to worry that the long-awaited concert will literally fall through?
Heat wave meets Latin trap – a perfect fit
At temperatures of up to 30 degrees, Bad Bunny’s Latin trap music fits like a glove. Fans plan their outfits accordingly and have one clear request: no rain please! The weather has been checked diligently for days: “Woe betide, there is even a drop of rain.” Do you now have to worry about a dry concert?
Weather forecast for the weekend
The German Weather Service is already predicting a significantly lower risk of severe weather for Saturday than for Friday. The heat wave continues, but the thunderstorms are only sporadic across North Rhine-Westphalia. Thunderstorm activity is also unlikely for the second Bad Bunny concert on Sunday.
The arena is weatherproof
It remains to be seen whether the storms will also pass over Düsseldorf and the weekend will still be rainy. However, the fans only have to worry about their arrival and departure anyway. The Merkur Game Arena is weatherproof: the stadium can be completely closed with a roof structure within 30 minutes. This means that all concert goers stay nice and dry.
Rain capes can stay in your bag during the concert. Hydration is probably more important: at 30 degrees, guests should drink enough water and keep a cool head. According to the D.Live post on TikTok, the operator of the Merkur Spiel-Arena, it is permitted to take folding bottles and fans with you.
