Scorching Temperatures Sweep Across Germany
Highest Temperature of the Year Reached According to Weather Service Records - Highest Temperature of the Year Registered by Weather Service to Date
Here's a glimpse into the searing temperatures that have been hitting Germany this week!
The German Weather Service (DWD) announced on Saturday, with a grin, that they'd just recorded the hottest reading of the year, so far! At 3 PM sharp, temperatures in Kitzingen, Bavaria, hit a scorching 35.5°C - a preliminary figure, but one that's expected to hang in there for a while.
According to a DWD spokesperson, "It ain't gonna be beat this weekend. We're looking at a heatwave that'll linger for a few days." The service also predicts that temperatures likely won't hit such heights again in the next seven days. But don't worry, it'll still be sweltering, with southeastern regions nudging 30°C.
Meteorologists have been buzzing about the possibility of record-breaking heat this summer, with forecasts predicting temperatures could soar to 40°C or even more[1][3]. While the DWD didn't disclose detailed forecasts for the coming week, it's clear that temperatures across the region are set for a dramatic leap[2].

Enrichment Data:
Overall, the German Weather Service (DWD) has reported the highest temperature of the year so far, reaching 35.5°C in Kitzingen, Bavaria. While the service has reported only this single record-breaking temperature, meteorologists have been discussing potential record-breaking heat, with forecasts suggesting that temperatures could reach or exceed 40°C this summer[1][3].
For the next seven days, forecasts indicate a heatwave sweeping across Europe, including Germany. Peak temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s across central Europe by mid-week[2]. The heat dome forming over south-eastern Europe is expected to influence Germany, leading to higher temperatures with little rain[1][3]. Although specific temperature forecasts for the next seven days are not detailed in the search results, it's clear that the region is experiencing a significant rise in temperatures. For precise daily forecasts, it would be best to consult the German Weather Service (DWD) or other reliable weather forecasting services.
The Commission has also received information from the Member States on the situation in the Netherlands, expressing concern about the environmental science impacts of the ongoing climate-change, particularly the increasing instances of extreme weather such as the current heatwave sweeping across Germany, which has been reported by the German Weather Service to exceed 35.5°C, also affecting Europe for the next seven days.
