Severe weather shifts are anticipated by meteorologists, with temperatures projected to soar up to 40 degrees.
After days of extreme heat in various regions, a significant cooling trend or cold wave is forecast to follow in late August 2025. This cooling is driven by a large upper cold wave dominating the region, delivering much cooler and more seasonable weather after the earlier heatwaves.
The heatwave has been causing stress among many people, particularly children, seniors, and those with chronic illnesses. The severe heatwave has been severe enough to require heat warnings from weather services.
The Pacific Northwest and West Coast will start August very hot but then cool down to the 80s as the week progresses. The cooling front is expected to push as far south as the Gulf Coast by the end of August, bringing relief from the heat further down. However, some areas like the Pacific Northwest will still see above-normal temperatures for a time amid this pattern.
Rainfall will become more likely under the influence of low-pressure systems accompanying this shift, especially over northern U.S. and southern Canada, contrasting with drier conditions during the heatwave earlier in the month.
Meteorologists are predicting a dramatic change in the weather, with Sunday bringing summer-like normality. Temperatures on Sunday will be between 28 to 32 degrees, a welcome relief after days of extreme heat. Outdoor activities should be shifted to the early morning or late evening hours starting from Friday to avoid heavy showers.
For city dwellers, it's advised to ventilate rooms well at night, keep them dark and windows closed during the day. The first thunderstorms will signal a change in weather from the weekend, and there is potential for thunderstorms on Friday.
The summer in our land has been characterized by mixed weather conditions. Some regions in our land have experienced temperatures close to 40 degrees. The high pressure system will pause over the weekend, and the nights on Saturday will be noticeably cooler, with temperatures around 16 degrees.
The summer is not over yet, but it's about to change suddenly. Enjoy the outdoors on Sunday as it will bring summer-like normality. Public heat warnings, such as those issued by the German Weather Service (DWD), use a thermal or "heat" index to describe the combined effect of temperature and humidity on physical well-being.
Forecasts suggest the cold wave is unusual this late in summer, as heat typically persists into September. However, warmth may return again in early September after this brief cool period.
In summary, after extreme heat events across various regions, a marked and somewhat unusual cold wave is predicted to bring substantially cooler weather with increased precipitation in some areas before summer warmth resumes.
