Anticipated weather conditions: Temperatures may reach 37 degrees, with thunderstorms posing a potential threat next week.
Germany is set for a sunny weekend, with temperatures reaching up to 32 degrees Celsius in the north and 33 degrees in the Upper Rhine on Sunday. The night of Sunday into Monday will also be dry and sunny, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
However, the new week will bring a change in weather. The risk of thunderstorms will increase from Tuesday, with strong, heavy storms possible in some areas. Elderly and vulnerable people are at risk of extreme stress due to the heat, as temperatures are expected to rise above 30 degrees in parts of Germany, with highs of up to 37 degrees.
The DWD has issued heat warnings for southern Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, where temperatures could reach up to 34 degrees. Sustained high-pressure weather is not expected, and these storms may bring heavy rain, gusts, and hail.
While there are no specific search results providing detailed information on the heavy storms and muggy conditions expected in Germany next week, it is typical for mid-August weather in Germany to involve thunderstorms accompanied by high humidity, especially in southern and central parts of the country. These can be triggered by warm, moist air masses from the Mediterranean or Atlantic combined with local atmospheric instability.
For precise and up-to-date regional forecasts including exact storm timing and affected areas, it is recommended to consult specialized meteorological services such as the German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst) closer to the date.
On Saturday, most regions will have no rain, and the night will see temperatures drop to 13 to 17 degrees. On Sunday, isolated thunderstorms are possible in the Alps, and temperatures will reach 20 to 25 degrees in the north and 25 to 32 degrees elsewhere. On Monday, temperatures will be 26 to 29 degrees, with the highs reaching 21 degrees at the coast and 33 degrees on the Upper Rhine.
The weekend in Berlin and Brandenburg will have plenty of sunshine, with Saturday's highs reaching 28 to 32 degrees Celsius and Sunday's highs at 24 to 27 degrees. On Monday, temperatures in Berlin and Brandenburg are expected to be slightly cooler, reaching 26 to 29 degrees.
Thunderstorms in the Alps on Monday have a low likelihood, and the northern half of the country will see some rain, while the rest of the country will enjoy sunshine with only a few scattered clouds. According to DWD meteorologist Lars Kirchhübel, the weather could become "rather intolerable for many people" on Tuesday.
It is crucial to stay informed and take precautions during extreme weather conditions. Consult your local weather service for the latest forecasts and safety advice.
