Sizzling Summer Ahead: Germany Faces Extreme Heat Wave
By: Dominik Jung
Warning: Get ready for the heat! Germany is bracing for an intense heat wave, with temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels, culminating in a possible real heat summer. Here's the scoop on what you need to know.
The Heat is On!
Munich - "This is just the beginning," says meteorologist Johannes Graf from the weather service wetter.net. Germany is about to face a series of scorching hot days, according to experts, mainly affecting the country's western and southern regions in the coming days.
By mid-week (June 11th), temperatures will skyrocket significantly, with peak values of over 30°C expected by Friday. In some locations, temperatures could even reach 35°C, according to Graf. Simultaneously, the potential for severe weather events increases drastically: heat thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail, and strong winds are a real threat. There's no sight of a sustained temperature drop as per current weather models, suggesting that the summer of 2025 is here to stay with above-average temperatures and high humidity.
Upcoming Heat Peak
The next weather disturbance is already on the horizon: After Corpus Christi (June 19th), a public holiday in some federal states, the heat could worsen. Leading models indicate that massive hot air masses from North Africa will charge directly into Central Europe, potentially leading to temperatures of up to 37°C in Germany. Areas of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria are likely to be hardest hit, with heavy humidity adding to the strain on circulation and health.
The weather situation remains unpredictable: occasional severe weather events could occur, but temperatures are expected to remain high, possibly reaching 30°C and beyond after the weekend.
The Summer of 2025? Here to Stay?
The signs are mounting: The heat summer of 2025 may become a reality. A cooling period, like the Schafskälte that usually occurs in June, is unlikely at the moment. Instead, long-term models indicate repeated influxes of very warm to hot air masses from the south, even resulting in tropical nights that could place additional strain—especially in cities.
Keep Your Cool
Over the coming weeks, the weather forecast will remain a hot topic: Will the summer remain consistently hot? Will new temperature records be set? Answers might take time, but one thing is clear now: Summer has arrived—and it's sticking around for now. Germany also faces the threat of a severe weather series in the coming days.
