Scorching Summer Ahead: Know Your Heat Safety! 🔥
Severe Heatwave Forecasted in Germany: Temperatures Could Soar Up To 37 Degrees
Prepare for sweltering temperatures as Germany gears up for an upcoming heatwave, predicting highs of up to 37°C! The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued this warning. Expect sun-soaked Sundays with temperatures ranging from 30°C - 35°C across the country, except for the southwest where peaks of 31°C - 37°C are forecasted. Particularly along the Rhine and Moselle, temperatures could soar, according to DWD meteorologist Tobias Reinartz.
If you're planning on catching the vibes at the "Southside" festival, beware! The summer heatwave will be in full swing during the festivities, slated to attract approximately 65,000 music enthusiasts to Neuhausen ob Eck, Baden-Württemberg, from June 20 to 22, 2025. Music legends like Green Day, Apache 207, and Zartmann will perform over the weekend on the former military airbase, making it one of the grandest open-air festivals in Germany.
With temperatures reaching tropical levels, it's crucial to prioritize hydration and protect yourself from the sun's harsh rays. The wise tip from the DWD meteorologist includes sipping on non-alcoholic beverages, sporting sun hats, and avoiding extended exposure to direct sunlight between 11 am and 2 pm to minimize sunburn risks. Despite the heat, festival-goers can expect a more comfortable evening ambiance in the coming days.
Saturday, June 19, will set the stage for this sweltering weekend, with mostly sunny and dry weather throughout the day. Expect temperature highs between 25° in Vorpommern and 33° along the Rhine. If you're a sun-worshipper, enjoy the heatwave! However, Reinartz reminds festival-goers that this warm spell is merely a brief interlude, as a cold front is expected to move over the west and northwest of Germany by Sunday evening, bringing heavy showers, thunderstorms, and strong winds.
Just as quickly as the heat arrives, it will depart, with temperatures plummeting dramatically, particularly in the north and west, making the start of the week feel almost autumnal compared to the high summer temperatures. Remember, Southside Festival is in June, not July!
The sudden weather change will set the tone for the new week, with rain expected on and off, especially in the north, and occasionally in the south as well. While summery warm to hot conditions will persist in the south and center, a significant chill will envelop the north with high temperatures of 20°C - 25°C.
Stay safe, festival-goers! Hydrate, protect yourself from the sun, and enjoy the music-filled weekend ahead. ☀️🎶
While the upcoming heatwave in Germany is predicted to peak at 37°C, music enthusiasts attending the Southside festival must stay hydrated and sun-safe as temperatures will soar, especially along the Rhine and Moselle. According to the German Weather Service, the forecast for the festival weekend (June 20-22, 2025) includes scorching temperatures, emphasizing the importance of weather-forecasting for festival-goers' safety.
