Authorities are warning that this weekend will be wet again and there could be more floods and landslides.
Forecasters say don’t be fooled by tomorrow – which is expected to be warm and sunny with highs of 25. But Saturday and Sunday will be a washout.
Up to 60mm of rain is expected north of the Alps - but that could be more in the case of thunderstorms.
Meteorologist Michael Eichmann told the Blick newspaper that normally that amount of rain wouldn’t be a problem, but the land is already saturated so the water will run off causing rivers and streams to rise quickly and could trigger mudslides.
He adds there also quite a lot of snow above 2,500 meters. When it rains on snow, it melts and comes down the mountain with the rain.
The good news is - without making any promises - next week could see the proper start of summer with plenty of sun and highs of 25.
