Hot summer days in Germany: There is a risk of over 36 degrees on Sunday!
Summer has arrived in Germany with a heat wave that makes even the coolest of souls sweat. We are currently recording temperatures that are already climbing over 30 degrees and in some cases shooting through the roof. Loud op online Record temperatures of up to 36 degrees are expected in western Germany on Sunday, June 22nd. Cities like Cologne, Frankfurt and Trier are particularly hard hit. June has been quite summery so far and has already given us a few days with temperatures between 25 and 33 degrees.
While the temperatures in the east and southeast of Germany are somewhat more moderate, the heat wave remains the biggest challenge for many. Information suggests that a sustained cooling is currently not in sight. According to reports, rain or thunderstorms are unlikely, only isolated warm thunderstorms could occur. It remains to be said that Germany has to prepare for a warm June, with many days above the 30 degree mark.
Dry times and weather forecasts
But the heat wave not only brings warmth, but also worrying drought. A look at the current weather situation shows that the drought has become increasingly dramatic in recent weeks. daswetter.com reports that the drought monitor shows exceptional values and that the urgently needed land rain is missing in many regions. Despite recent showers, the rain has barely penetrated the ground and the landscape has a major thirst problem.
The experts agree: Germany needs between 400 and 500 liters of rain in the coming months to alleviate the drought. But at the moment it doesn't look like there will be a widespread change in the weather. The meteorological autumn brings no relief as high pressure areas continue to dominate and Atlantic low foothills are missing.
Outlook for summer 2025
As for the long-term outlook, current climate models paint a bleak picture. weather.com highlights that forecasts for summer 2025 show temperatures that could be 1.5 to 3 degrees above average. This hot spell has a 70 to 100% chance of being one of the hottest summers since the 1993 to 2016 reference period.
However, the precipitation forecast is still uncertain. While some models predict a dry summer period, a US model predicts a lot of rain for Italy. However, a high pressure area over Central Europe could bring possible weather changes in the second half of the year.
It will therefore be exciting to see how the climatic conditions in Germany will develop. The heat will probably stay with us for a while, and the anticipation of a cooler summer is likely to drag on even further.
