Germany is hit by a heat wave and temperatures of up to 40 degrees. The record measured in NRW is even higher. Read more here:
Duisburg – Many regions in Germany can be considered heat areas. For example the Rhine plain in Baden-Württemberg or the Cologne Bay in North Rhine-Westphalia.

However, weather experts consider it unlikely that this extreme value will be set during the current heat wave.
