First heat wave of this summer is approaching

So far, 2021 has been mostly cool and rainy. But now the summer is really turning up.

Offenbach (dpa) – After the rainy spring, Germany is facing the first summer heat wave. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), it can be up to 32 degrees warm on the Upper Rhine on Tuesday.

It looks different in the north, where the temperatures even get a little damper. North of a line Berlin-Hanover-Ruhr area it will mostly stay below 25 degrees. Only 17 to 19 degrees are reached on the North Sea.

On Wednesday, with lots of sunshine and loose cumulus clouds, the temperatures in the south and in the middle of Germany rise above 30 degrees in many places.

“Along the rivers in southern and western Germany you really work up a sweat at 32 to 34 degrees,” said Markus Übel from the weather forecast center in Offenbach on Monday. “On Thursday the summer will go one step further.” From Kiel to Konstanz and from Aachen to Cottbus, the thermometer climbs to a hot 30 to locally even 35 degrees.
