Scorching Summer Weekend Ahead: Anticipated Temperature High of 30 Degrees
In the coming week, Germany is set to experience hot and mostly dry conditions, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from 28 to 37°C and heatwaves possible particularly around mid-August [1][5]. Nighttime temperatures will be around 14 to 18°C.
Regarding precipitation, the overall outlook is for below normal rainfall, with about 3 to 5 days of rain totaling around 30–50 mm distributed rather unevenly. Southern Germany may experience occasional showers or thunderstorms, hail, and strong gusts, especially around the Alps and regions south of the Danube, with a localized risk of heavy rainfall and potential flooding in these areas. Northern and central parts will tend to be sunnier with fewer showers, although isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out [1][2].
Strong heat warnings are in effect, with temperatures possibly soaring as high as 37–38°C in various regions, including northern Germany impacted by severe heat [5]. Southern Germany, particularly Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, has recently received heavy rains and thunderstorms, with rainfall totals up to 150 liters per square meter possible near the Alps early in the week [2].
After early-week rain in the south, the rest of the week is likely to see high pressure dominate, leading to warmer, sunnier, and dry conditions overall [4]. The weekend will show high summer temperatures, with temperatures of 26 to 34°C in the southwest and cooler along the coast (21 to 25°C). The north will experience maximum temperatures of 23 to 26°C on Monday with a few harmless cloud fields [3].
As the heat reaches its peak, the risk of local heavy thunderstorms will increase from the west. Local temperatures of up to 36°C are expected in the south during the peak. The south will reach peak temperatures of just over 30°C on Sunday, while the north will not exceed 25°C [2].
Key Points: - Temperature: 28–37°C daytime, 14–18°C night, heatwaves mid-August, all Germany - Precipitation: 30–50 mm total, 3–5 rainy days, mainly south early in the week, diminishing later - Weather Pattern: Mostly sunny, high pressure, after early rain clears - Risks: Heat warnings, localized flooding, southern Germany early week
