While Monday is expected to bring high temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees in the northeast and at the North Sea, elsewhere temperatures are expected to range between 28 and 36 degrees. It will be particularly hot in the southwest, with a strong to extreme heat load expected in many areas – "also due to a widely expected tropical night on Tuesday," as the DWD puts it.
Nighttime lows may range between 24 and 20 degrees in some places. On Tuesday, the heat will spread further, with temperatures reaching up to 37 degrees – only in coastal areas and East Pomerania is less than 30 degrees expected.
Heat Followed by Storms
According to the weather service, there may be isolated heavy thunderstorms and locally limited severe weather in the south and southwest on Monday afternoon and evening. On Tuesday, from midday onwards, there may be heavy thunderstorms with increased severe weather risk in many areas, especially from the mountains. In addition to heavy rain, even severe gusts of wind may occur locally, the DWD reports.
On Wednesday, heavy thunderstorms are expected in the west and northwest already at night. During the day, they will spread eastwards, with an increased risk of severe weather due to heavy rain and strong gusts of wind. Temperatures will range from 29 to 34 degrees – cooler temperatures are expected in the west and northwest.
