Temperatures continue to climb.
As the new week begins, Germany is gearing up for a heatwave that is expected to last until Thursday. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), temperatures will range from 25 to 38 degrees Celsius across the country.
From Monday, temperatures in most regions will reach between 26 and 32 degrees Celsius. The immediate coastal area will remain cooler, with temperatures below 25 degrees. The hottest temperatures will be experienced in the Rhine-Main region, the Palatinate, and the north of Baden-Württemberg to the Upper Rhine Valley.
Magdalena Bertelmann from the DWD predicts that Wednesday and Thursday will be the hottest days of the week, with temperatures reaching up to 38 degrees in many areas. The rest of the country will experience temperatures ranging from 30 to 36 degrees on Tuesday, with the highest values along the Rhine, Saar, and Mosel.
The DWD advises the public to take precautions against the heat. They recommend drinking plenty of fluids, staying in the shade, avoiding physical exertion, and trying to keep your apartment cool from Wednesday. They also warn that there will be an increase in heat-related complaints during the middle of the week.
Clouds will remain scarce until at least Wednesday, with only the north seeing occasional cloud fields. However, the very hot air is expected to shift eastwards on Thursday, which may bring some relief.
The thunderstorm risk is likely to increase from Thursday, so it's important to stay informed and follow any weather warnings issued by the DWD.
Detailed forecasts for severe weather and the duration of the heatwave are still uncertain, according to the weather service. For the most accurate and up-to-date weather information in Germany from Monday to Thursday this week, I recommend visiting the official DWD website or using a reliable weather app. If you want, I can help you understand how to interpret their forecast or provide general climate information for Germany during this time of year.
More specifically, Magdalena Bertelmann anticipates temperature peaks on Wednesday and Thursday, with readings of up to 38 degrees Celsius in many German regions. Additionally, the German Weather Service (DWD) urges the public to be vigilant about the heatwave, offering precautions such as staying hydrated, seeking shade, and reducing physical exertion, due to an anticipated rise in heat-related complaints in the middle of the week.
