Bavaria Experiences Intense Heat Waves on a Friday
The intense heatwave that gripped Germany in mid-August has begun to subside, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).

The all-time temperature record for Germany, a scorching 41.2°C, was measured on July 25, 2019, at the DWD weather stations of Tönisvorst and Duisburg-Baerl, both in North Rhine-Westphalia. However, the temperatures recorded on Friday were below this record-breaking mark.
Rain with thunderstorms occurred in the evening in some areas, such as Aspach northeast of Stuttgart. Despite the rainfall, no major damage has been reported so far.
