Summer turn: July says goodbye to hot temperatures in the north

fluctuating weather in July 2024: A challenge for the north

The month of July 2024 will not go into history as a typical summer month. The temperatures in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony remained behind the expectations, while Hamburg came up with exceptional rainfall. The climatic conditions not only have an impact on the environment, but also on the daily life of people in these regions.

cool temperatures and limited hours of sunshine

Schleswig-Holstein recorded a disappointing average temperature of only 17.5 degrees Celsius , which made it the coldest federal state in Germany. Lower Saxony followed with a low value of 18.2 degrees Celsius . These cool temperatures meant that many people in the region found the summer to be less gratifying. The small number of hours of sunshine, with only 228 hours in Lower Saxony and 240 hours in Hamburg, increased the feeling of the drizzle weather and clouded the summer mood significantly.

rainworthy city: Hamburg stands out

in particular Hamburg stands out with a sad record: According to the German Weather Service (DWD), shocking 102 cubic meters of rain per square meter fell in July. This quantity not only led to the streets that were often flooded, but also influenced the leisure opportunities of the citizens. Parks and excursion destinations had to remain closed on many days due to the continued rain, which led to a decline in the number of visitors.

a conciliatory conclusion of the month

On the last weekend in July, the region experienced a surprising change in weather. Tuesday (July 30) brought temperatures of up to 31 degrees

consequences for the community and daily life

The inconsistent weather conditions have influenced not only leisure behavior, but also the region's agricultural activities. Many farmers fight with a lack of water, which was caused by the lack of summer rain in the previous months. At the same time, soil conditions are often too moist to do effective harvesting. These developments illustrate the challenges that bring extreme weather conditions for the region.

look into the future: weather forecasts and their meaning

The next weather forecast will be crucial to clarify whether August brings a trend reversal or whether the cool, rainy days continue to determine life in the north. The people in Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Hamburg are excited to see whether they can realize their summer plans or whether they have to prepare for changeable weather again.
