Tropical storm "Dexter" may significantly alter the upcoming summer, potentially bringing increased heat.
Tropical storm "Dexter," currently moving over the ocean towards Europe, may bring hot air masses from North Africa to Germany. However, contrary to some speculations, there is no evidence or report indicating that Tropical Storm Dexter is expected to cause record-breaking heat or have a direct impact on Germany's weather.
Initially, weather models suggested that tropical storm "Dexter" could affect Germany's weather. But as of now, Dexter is confined to the Atlantic offshore region and has been monitored primarily for its impact on the U.S. coast and Atlantic waters. There are no forecasts or credible sources linking it to heat records or unusual weather patterns in Germany.
On the other hand, high "Ines" is currently bringing warm and dry air towards Germany, causing temperatures to rise above 30 degrees in many regions. This warm weather is good news for water lovers and sunbathers in Germany. But it could become uncomfortable, especially in heat-stricken cities, due to the potential new heat records. Temperatures of up to 35 to 37 degrees are expected in some regions.
Not only children and the elderly, but also the risk of forest fires usually increases with high temperatures. As a precaution, authorities urge vigilance and caution during this period.
It is worth noting that the weather in Germany is currently experiencing a summer comeback due to high "Ines". Many hours of sunshine and little cooling at night are forecasted for Germany due to Dexter. The heat is expected to hit particularly hard in the west and south of Germany.
Despite the absence of a direct impact from Tropical Storm Dexter on Germany's weather, it is essential to stay informed and prepared for the upcoming heatwave. Stay hydrated, seek shade when possible, and check on vulnerable neighbours and family members during this period.

Science has shown that climate change can exacerbate extreme weather events, but there is no relation between Tropical Storm Dexter and the current heatwave in Germany, as predicted environmental-science models suggest that high Ines, not Dexter, is responsible for the rise in temperatures. Weather reports continue to indicate that record heat might be experienced in certain German regions due to Ines.
