Germany Experiences Scorching Temperatures: Intense Heatwave Approaches - intense heat sweeps over Germany, reaching scorching temperatures
Germany is currently experiencing a heat wave, with temperatures expected to rise across the country. However, the coastal regions, including Berlin, are expected to remain cooler during this period.
On Wednesday, August 20, 2025, and Thursday, August 21, 2025, Berlin is forecasted to have maximum daytime temperatures of 24°C on Wednesday and 23°C on Thursday, with sunny weather both days. Nighttime temperatures are forecasted to be 17°C on Wednesday and 14°C on Thursday.
The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a heat warning specific to southern and southwestern Germany, but Berlin is not under any heat wave alert. These temperatures do not qualify as extreme heat wave conditions, which generally involve sustained temperatures above 30°C or higher.

In contrast to the heat wave affecting most of Germany, Berlin's community can anticipate a relatively mild summer in August 2025, as the forecast suggests daytime temperatures reaching 24°C on the 20th and 23°C on the 21st, with sunny weather and cooler nights. Given these conditions, environmental science and potentially employment in related sectors, such as outdoor recreation or sustainable energy, may continue to be available, unlike during extreme heat wave episodes that can impact employment policy.
