Lots of sun, few clouds. This is the weather on Sunday. It should be up to 34 degrees. And next week the temperature will rise even more. But first you have to enjoy a sunny Sunday.
The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts up to 34 degrees in the southwest, 32 degrees in the south, 30 degrees in the capital and central Germany on the last day of the weekend. It’s only getting cooler on the coast. On Sunday the temperature is expected to be only 20-26 degrees.
Why is the weather so hot
Meteorology graduate Dominic Jung told BILD: “A strong high pressure areaThe former Azores highlands lie above central Europe and in many places provide the longest possible duration of sunshine and bright blue skies. The wind is blowing from the north, light to moderate.”
Remains completely cloudless Vetter According to Jung, however, no: “Isolated cumulus clouds will develop during the day, especially in the northeast, extreme east and extreme southwest. This could result in one or two brief thermal thunderstorms developing locally, most likely over the eastern parts of the country. But this remains the exception.”

Heat, wildfire and UV exposure warnings
Jung warns against this Forest fire dangerwhich is prevalent due to drought. “This is mainly seen in the southwest. The July rainfall target has so far only been achieved by about 15 percent.” Due to high levels of ultraviolet radiation, midday sun should be avoided. Drink enough water or tea!
On Sunday the weather will be mostly sunny and hot, with a high of 34 degrees in the southwest.

It will be even hotter next week. On Montag Highs are 26 degrees in the north, 36 degrees in central Germany and 22 degrees in the south, according to DWD. On Tuesday It should be 28 degrees in the north, 36 degrees in the middle and 32 degrees in the south.

die Heat wave He hasn’t given up either, according to climate scientist Dr. Carsten Brandt. He foresees even higher temperatures. “It will get warmer and hotter every day until Wednesday.

Weather expert Dominic Jung told BILD: “There will be no real, net change with the colder weather at first. More like gradual changes.” Storm: Around Thursday and Friday, humidity increases and with it the tendency for sometimes severe storms, including localized thunderstorms (heavy rain, hail, squalls). Closer to the weekend (from the 18th) there are signs of more unstable weather with showers and thunderstorms. However, given the current state of affairs, a sharp drop in temperature is not expected. It’s still warm here like in summer, from 28 to 34 degrees, but it’s just more humid and thundery.”
