According to preliminary information from the German Weather Service, last night was the warmest since records began in Germany. The record was set in Kubschรผz in East Saxony, where the night temperature did not drop below 29.4 degrees.

The hottest night to date was in August 2003 in Weinbieth in Rhineland-Palatinate with a temperature of 27.2 degrees.

DWD Continues Heat Warning

The current heat wave is already historic, both in terms of its duration and the temperatures reached. In Drewitz in the state of Jerichauer in Saxony-Anhalt, a maximum temperature of 41.5 degrees was reached on Saturday. There was at least one other weather station that measured a temperature of 41.4 degrees on Saturday, a DWD spokesman said.

DWD also warned of extreme heat this Sunday. Therefore, the heat wave is increasingly shifting to the east: in Lusatia on Sunday it can reach 42 degrees.
