Germany experienced a significantly warm summer in 2024, with temperatures reaching as high as 36.5 degrees Celsius. The south and east were particularly hot, while places like Helgoland had no summer days.

The summer was marked by extreme rainfall events, with some areas receiving over 600 liters of precipitation. Despite the heat, there were also frosty temperatures of 1.4 degrees Celsius due to the 'Schafskälte' phenomenon.

Overall, it was the 28th consecutive warm summer in Germany. The German Weather Service reported that Berlin had the highest temperatures and sunniest hours in the country, while regions like Schleswig-Holstein and Saarland had cooler temperatures.

The weather forecast predicts a temperature drop and unsettled weather in the coming days, with the possibility of an early onset of winter with extreme cold and snow.
