In some European countries, the Sahara heat threatens with up to 45 degrees. For Germany, the weather forecasts predict severe weather for the coming weekend.
Kassel / Wiesbaden – For large parts of Germany, anything but a summer start to August is predicted. Instead of the hottest days of the year, the so-called dog days, according to the meteorologists, tend to bring April weather: rain showers, thick clouds, wind and thunderstorms , plus temperatures of around 20 degrees, could also hit the Kassel * and northern Hesse region.
The weather * looks completely different in other parts of Europe, where, especially in the south of the Sahara, the air continues to cause extreme heat: The meteorologist Dominik Jung stated the highest values for Sicily and southern Italy, Greece and Turkey in his forecast from Friday (30.07. 2021) 40 to 45 degrees in prospect : “The all-time record for Europe is 48.0 degrees. It was measured in Greece in 1977, ”said Jung.
However, it is questionable whether the heat of the next few days could break this record. In Turkey, violent forest fires have raged in the region around Antalya since this week.
Weather goes crazy: Snow in Brazil, other storms in Central Europe
