Dhe weekend is supposed to be hot in many parts of Germany. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), temperatures of up to 38 degrees are possible locally in the southwest on Saturday and Sunday. The reason for the heat wave is therefore a high pressure area that moves east across the country on Saturday. As a result, hot air from south-west Europe reaches us, which spreads across large parts of Germany, as the weather service announced. In the affected areas, warnings are given of severe heat stress. Saturday is expected to be the hottest day of the year so far in some places.
In the north, on the other hand, it stays a little cooler. Here, the DWD expects temperatures between 19 and 23 degrees. However, thunderstorms and squalls can occur across the country. In the night to Sunday, these can even get a little heavier in the north. The DWD expects some heavy showers or thunderstorms at up to twelve degrees on the North Sea. In some large cities on the Rhine, temperatures drop to as low as 22 degrees.
Temperatures between 27 and 37 degrees are expected in the southwest and center of Germany on Sunday. In the north and northwest, the DWD expects maximum values of 17 to 24 degrees. There may be some rain here in some areas. In the middle of the country, as well as in the west, south-west and on the Alps, it will remain sunny during the day. In the evening strong thunderstorms are expected.
