Sun's returning heat takes over once more
Return of Summer Weather to Germany: Sunny Days and Warm Temperatures Ahead
After a brief interruption of rainy and cooler weather, Germany is set to experience a return of summer conditions, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). The upcoming days are expected to be sunny, warm, and even hot in many parts of the country.
Starting from Thursday, temperatures will rise into the summer range across almost the whole country, with maximums between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The weather is expected to be sunny for most of Germany on this day. In the south and center of Germany, there will be sunshine and temperatures up to 26 degrees Celsius. Along the coast, it will be a bit cooler with temperatures between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.
On Friday, the sunny and warm weather will continue, with temperatures south of the Main and Mosel rivers exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. The south of Germany will remain dry and sunny all day, while in the far north of Germany, it will be cooler and cloudier, but rain will be an exception. Maximum temperatures in the far north will be between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius.
The beautiful and hot weather is expected to last until Sunday, with the overall impression of the weather remaining beautiful. However, the risk of thunderstorms will increase, especially in the west and south of Germany from Friday to Sunday.
According to meteorologist Marco Manitta from DWD, the temperatures will continue to rise, with the German Weather Service predicting temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius for most of Germany before the weekend. Despite the occasional thunderstorms, the weather forecast for Friday suggests that it will feel like summer all over Germany, except for the far north where it will be cooler and cloudier.
This return of summer weather follows a "summer monsoon" pattern that Germany experienced in late July and early August 2025, with heavy rains and thunderstorms in southern areas like Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. However, starting around August 5, warmer temperatures and more sunshine are returning, with highs up to 32 degrees Celsius expected, especially in regions like Bavaria and Nuremberg.
In conclusion, while the summery heat was disrupted by heavy rains in late July and early August 2025, the warm and sunny conditions are returning starting around the first week of August and are expected to last for the near term following that. The rains and thunderstorms should subside with the diminishing stagnant disturbance, allowing summer-like weather to prevail again in many areas.
Based on the forecast from the German Weather Service (DWD), the upcoming days, starting from Thursday to Sunday, will see a return of summer weather to Germany, with maximum temperatures between 20 to 30 degrees Celsius across the country. The weather-forecasting suggests that there will be sunny days and warm temperatures ahead, with temperatures rising into the summer range, particularly in southern and central regions.
