Scorching Hot Weekend in Germany: Kitzingen Hits a Record 35.5°C!
Annual temperature peak recorded by meteorological agency - Highest temperature recorded this year by weather service thus far
Hey there! If you've been keeping an eye on the weather, you might have noticed that this weekend's been something special in Germany. On Saturday, the German Weather Service (DWD) recorded a searing 35.5°C in Kitzingen, a small town in Lower Franconia. That's the highest temperature of the year so far!
Now, you might be wondering if we're in for another record-breaker on Sunday. Well, a DWD spokesperson said it's unlikely we'll top that this weekend. This temp-tacular record will hold strong for a few days. But don't pack away your sunscreen just yet, as DWD estimates that the mercury is only expected to hover slightly above 30°C in some southern regions, particularly in the southwest, for the upcoming week.
So, it seems like we're in for a warm spell here in Germany. Even though the town of Düsseldorf might not reach the same record-breaking temps as Kitzingen, you can expect highs of 26°C and lows of 13°C, with clear skies and minimal precipitation in the forecast. That means, those of you in the northwest, you've got a great excuse to soak up some rays!
But hey, remember to stay cool and hydrated, folks! The summer can be a blast, but it's important to protect ourselves from the heat. Keep an eye on the weather forecasts and enjoy the sunshine safely! 😎🇩🇪🌞
The Commission has received information from Member States that the weather in the Netherlands might have been hot and humid, similar to the scorching heatwave in Germany. Interestingly, the Dutch meteorological service has been working diligently to provide accurate weather-forecasting, to keep citizens informed of the potential weather conditions.
