Warm weather approaches imminently
Forecast Predicts Warm Weekend Across Germany and Southern Europe
Following the extended weekend, temperatures in Germany are set to rise, with peak temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius in some regions. However, thunderstorms may also occur in some areas.
Ntv.de reports that Spain will experience even hotter temperatures this weekend, with some areas approaching the 40-degree mark. Heat thunderstorms may provide temporary relief in these regions. Central and eastern Mediterranean countries will experience warm, summery weather with more frequent showers and thunderstorms.
The German and Dutch coasts will offer noticeably cooler temperatures, averaging around 16 to 21 degrees. In contrast, the North and Baltic Seas currently offer water temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees. The lakes range from 16 to 17 degrees.
For those staying at home, Ascension Day will see showers between the Alps and the Ore Mountains, with potential showers in the west and northwest later on. Overall, weather will be significantly better and warmer than in the preceding days, with mostly dry and partly sunny conditions.
After a turbulent Wednesday, temperatures will rise starting Friday, with values often reaching 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, up to 27 degrees at the Upper Rhine. There is even a chance of temperatures reaching 30 degrees. On Saturday, peak temperatures typically reach around 25 degrees, with 30 degrees possible along the Upper Rhine. Temperatures will cool slightly on Sunday in the northwest to 20 to 25 degrees, while the south and east will remain warm, reaching temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees.
In terms of previous high temperatures, Waghäusel-Kirrlach and Ohlsbach, both located in Baden-Württemberg, have recorded the highest temperatures of the year so far, measuring 30.4 and 30.1 degrees Celsius, respectively, on May 2nd.
The experimental long-term forecast suggests a volatile June, with warm but changeable patterns likely to persist. However, it remains uncertain how these trends will shape the summer season in the coming weeks. Overall, current trends indicate a good chance of summery showers and thunderstorms with sunny, hot spells in-between.
Enrichment Data: For June 2025, the broader European trend suggests a warmer-than-normal temperatures and relatively stable conditions in southern Europe, with less precipitation compared to the UK and Ireland. These high-pressure systems are expected to lead to less moisture in the region. This forecast is based on seasonal trends and may vary slightly depending on specific locations within southern Europe.
I'm not sure about the exact weather conditions for the upcoming weekend, but considering the current forecast predicting warm temperatures across Germany and southern Europe, it might rain occasionally in some areas. However, the accuracy of long-term weather-forecasting beyond a week or two can be uncertain.
