Pleasant summer weather returns, bringing sunshine and an expected temperature of approximately 30 degrees
The weather in Germany is set to bring a mix of sunshine and showers over the upcoming weekend and the start of the new week, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
Marcel Schmid from DWD has stated that summer weather will persist in most parts of Germany, with several days of sunshine and high summer temperatures. However, the forecast suggests that the weekend will be somewhat unsettled with increasing cloud cover and showers.
In the south of Germany, temperatures will range from 27 to 33 degrees, making it ideal for outings, swimming pool visits, or relaxed hours in the garden. The weather will continue to be sunny and warm, perfect for enjoying the outdoors.
However, individual, sometimes strong showers and thunderstorms may occur over the southern mountain ranges, especially from the Black Forest to eastern Bavaria on Sunday. The weather in the north and northwest will be a bit fickle, with some clouds and occasional showers. Temperatures will be milder, ranging from 21 to 27 degrees.
At the coasts, it will be a bit cooler, with 24 degrees expected there. Evenings in the southern half of Germany are suitable for outdoor activities such as barbecues, open-air cinemas, or reading on the balcony.
Looking at a representative location in Germany, Leverkusen, the forecast for the weekend is as follows:
- Friday, August 15: Cloudy with a chance of rain, temperatures around 31°C max and 22°C min.
- Saturday, August 16: Mostly cloudy with rain showers, temperatures dropping to a max of 26°C and a min of 20°C.
- Sunday, August 17: Cloudy, with cooler temperatures around 24°C max and 17°C min.
This suggests the weekend will be somewhat unsettled with increasing cloud cover and showers, followed by generally cloudy but drier conditions on Sunday. The temperature trend shows a cooling from Friday to Sunday.
While more localized forecasts could vary, this provides a reliable overview for central Germany at least. No severe weather alerts or extremes are noted in the available data.
No detailed forecast data for the start of the new week beyond Sunday was found explicitly, but the trend implies continued moderate temperatures and cloud cover.
Despite the weekend forecast, summer weather has returned to most parts of Germany, and the weather in almost all of Germany will remain friendly and dry towards the weekend. The DWD expects good weather for swimming, ice cream parlors, and lake activities over the weekend.
