Scorching summer weekend on the horizon, with temperatures projected to reach 30 degrees
Germany to Experience Cooling Trend After Heatwave
The German Weather Service (DWD) has predicted a significant cooling trend following the upcoming heatwave, with temperatures set to drop to more moderate conditions in the mid-20s from Saturday onwards [1]. This shift in weather is expected to bring relief from the intense heat that has been affecting the country.
During the heatwave, which is expected to last until Friday, many cities, including Frankfurt, are forecasted to reach temperatures up to 38°C [1][4]. However, by Saturday, sunshine and temperatures dropping to the mid-20s are expected to return across Germany and persist into the following week [1].
In the southwest on Monday, thermometers will show over 30 degrees, with peak values of up to 34 degrees in the shade [1]. On Tuesday and Wednesday, peak temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees are expected [1]. In the north, a maximum of 23 to 26 degrees is expected on Monday, with not even 25 degrees expected on Sunday, according to meteorologist Tobias Reinartz from the weather service [1].
Towards the peak of the heat, the weather remains uncertain in the second half of the week [1]. Elsewhere in the country, the sun will show itself, sometimes with a few clouds, but it will remain dry [1]. A cold front will move in on Sunday and replace the hot air in many parts of the country with noticeably cooler maritime air [1].
The risk of local heavy thunderstorms is expected to increase in the south as the heat peak approaches [1]. The night into Monday will be significantly cooler, with temperatures around 10 degrees in some areas [1]. The second half of the week may bring more rain and renewed lower temperatures [1].
On Sunday, the south will reach peak temperatures of just over 30 degrees, while only in the far north is it likely to remain largely below the 30-degree mark [1]. The highest temperatures on Saturday will be 26 to 34 degrees, with the highest values in the southwest [1].
The DWD has also issued heat warnings throughout the heatwave period to alert residents to the extreme temperatures [4]. It's crucial for everyone to take precautions during this period, especially the elderly, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions. Stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and check on neighbours and family members to ensure their safety.
