- Maps show where the sun is shining and where storms rise

On Monday, the highest temperatures in the northeast and at the North Sea are expected to range between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius, while elsewhere they will be between 28 and 36 degrees Celsius. It will be particularly hot in the southwest, with a strong to extreme heat load expected in many areas - "also due to a widespread expected tropical night on Tuesday," as the DWD reports.

In some areas, the lowest temperatures at night will be between 24 and 20 degrees Celsius. On Tuesday, the heat will spread further, with temperatures reaching up to 37 degrees Celsius - only in coastal areas and East Pomerania is less than 30 degrees Celsius expected.

Heat Followed by Storms

According to the weather service, there will be isolated heavy thunderstorms and localized severe weather in the south and southwest on Monday afternoon and evening. On Tuesday, from midday onwards, there will be heavy thunderstorms with increased severe weather risk, especially from the mountains. In addition to heavy rain in extreme severe weather areas, gusty winds, and locally heavy gusts are possible, 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 from heavy rain and gusty winds. Temperatures will range from 29 to 34 degrees Celsius - slightly cooler temperatures are expected in the west and northwest.
