The day will be moderately cloudy, but there's no rain forecasted (0% precipitation probability). Winds will be light, blowing from the north or northeast at 11-13 km/h. Humidity will vary, with levels dropping during the warmer parts of the day.
On Friday evening, Essen will see a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with clear to partly cloudy skies and no rain in sight.

General Weather Outlook
A heat dome over Europe is causing intense heatwaves, with temperatures in western Germany reaching upper 30s to near 40 degrees Celsius, especially by Tuesday-Wednesday (Aug 19-20). However, this weekend will be relatively milder, with no mention of thunderstorms or rain in the forecast data, suggesting stable, dry weather due to the heat dome's influence. The subsiding air is expected to limit precipitation opportunities.
Regional Variations
While most of Germany will enjoy friendly and dry weather, the north may experience some fickle conditions. The thermometer will climb to a maximum of 27 to 34 degrees across the country, with the highest values in the southwest.
In summary, this weekend will be hot and predominantly dry across Germany, with west and central areas seeing daytime highs near 30-33 degrees Celsius, no significant rain or thunderstorms expected, and light to moderate northerly winds. As we move into midweek, the heatwave conditions will strengthen further.
Community policy should emphasize caution during the upcoming hot and dry weekend across Germany, especially in areas with high temperature predictions, such as western Germany and southwestern cities like Essen and Bochum. Additionally, the weather-forecasting data indicates that weather-related activities, like outdoor events or water sports, should be closely monitored due to the potential impacts of the heat dome on the environment and the environmentally sensitive areas across the nation.
