Alert Issued: Potential High Temperatures Ahead
News Article: Moderate Heat Forecasted for Karlsruhe on Thursday, Despite Extreme Heat Warning
On Thursday, August 28, 2025, residents of Karlsruhe and surrounding areas along the Upper Rhine can expect a day of moderate temperatures, despite a broader extreme heat warning issued by the German Weather Service and the warning app NINA.
The forecast predicts temperatures ranging from 23 to 28 °C for the daytime, with minimum temperatures between 15 to 17 °C at night. The Met Office and other weather sources also corroborate these predictions, suggesting partly cloudy skies with possible light showers in the region.
While the forecast for Karlsruhe does not indicate extreme temperatures, the warning for extreme heat along the Upper Rhine remains in effect. The warning extends up to an altitude of 400 meters and includes areas beyond Karlsruhe.
Unfortunately, the densely populated city area of Karlsruhe is expected to experience limited cooling at night due to the extreme heat. This means that even though the temperatures may drop slightly, they will still be above the usual night-time temperatures, potentially leading to heat stress.
The extreme heat stress is expected to persist throughout Thursday, making it a consistently hot and potentially stressful day. The German Weather Service and the warning app NINA have issued a continued alert for Thursday regarding the extreme heat, urging residents to take necessary precautions to stay cool and hydrated.
