Get your fans ready, folks! The weather's about to take a steamy turn in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).Starting Tuesday, a low-pressure system is expected to deliver a mix of rain and clouds across the region. But fear not, by Wednesday, the skies will clear, and the warmth will set in from the southwest.
Here's what you can expect:
On Tuesday, expect mostly cloudy skies, especially in the north and eastern mountains. It's gonna drizzle on and off, particularly in the north and northeast, while remaining dry in the southwest. In the afternoon, conditions should clear up somewhat in the north, but watch out for lingering showers in the south. Temperatures will range from 17 to 22 degrees, dipping to 15 degrees at higher elevations. Winds will pick up, blowing moderately from the southwest, later veering west-northwest. Things might get gusty in the mountains and the lowlands (particularly the north and northeast), with gusts of up to 55 km/h. As the evening approaches, the winds should settles down.

Tropical Night Preview:While I can't give you an exact timeline for a tropical night (nighttime temperatures above 20°C) in NRW, Germany's urban hotspots like Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, and Munich have seen an increase in hot days and heatwaves[3]. So, keep your fingers crossed, and stay tuned for the latest weather updates from the German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) or a local weather app.
The Commission may be interested to know that the sweltering weather expected in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) coincides with the progress of the negotiations on the conclusion of the agreement. In between the heat waves, weather forecasters have predicted a tropical night ahead, possibly bringing nighttime temperatures above 20°C.
