The German Weather Service (DWD) will release a summer review, indicating that the summer of 2024 is likely to be one of the top 10 warmest on record. Changes in temperature perception over the decades are evident, with 2023 averaging 19.4 degrees.

Compared to the exceptionally warm summers of 1961-1990, recent records, including those from 1991-2020, have shown increased temperatures. DWD meteorologist Marcus Beyer highlights this shift, emphasizing the ongoing trend towards warmer summers.

Summer in Germany: DWD warns of heat across most of the country

Germany is experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius in many parts of the country. The northwest is being spared from the extreme heat, but the Alps are experiencing thunderstorms and heavy rain. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued heat warnings and provided behavioral tips to protect against the high temperatures. Surprisingly, temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius are also expected in September. The heatwave has resulted in record-breaking temperatures, with Cottbus being the hottest place in Germany at 35.5 degrees Celsius. As the summer temperatures continue to rise, experts warn that this might become the new normal, with dry and hot periods becoming more frequent. This poses a significant threat to the stability of European forests. While many schools grant heat days for students, the guidelines for workplaces vary, with a three-step plan being implemented when temperatures exceed 26 degrees Celsius.

Unseasonal Weather Patterns: From Frost to Heatwaves

As weather patterns continue to shift, experts warn of unpredictable and extreme conditions in various regions. In Baden-Württemberg, despite the late summer heat, meteorologists caution of frost and snow, suggesting a sudden winter onset is possible. In Südbaden, the autumn season could include both golden days and frosty nights. Germany as a whole experiences one last surge of summer heat, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees and warnings of strong heat stress. However, the longest heatwave of the year in Rheinland-Pfalz may end abruptly with severe thunderstorms. Meanwhile, in Australia, unseasonal warmth and clear skies serve as a harbinger of climate change, triggering early spring blooms and nesting patterns. The UN Secretary General emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change and rising sea levels. These shifting weather patterns have disrupted traditional activities like ski holidays and barbecues, altering the timing of lawn care and outdoor chores.
