Weather Update: Summer Heat Peaks in Germany

Germany experiences a final surge of summer with temperatures soaring up to 35 degrees, prompting heat stress warnings from the DWD. Thunderstorms and heavy rain affect the Alps, while the northwest escapes the heat.

The DWD advises against direct sunlight exposure and outdoor activities, recommending cold baths for relief. Despite nearing September, temperatures remain above 30 degrees.

The weather outlook hints at continued warmth with dry, hot conditions prevailing across the country, delaying the onset of autumn. Reflecting on the summer, meteorologists note a consistently warm season, although not a record-breaking one.

The weather in Niedersachsen mirrors this trend, with above-average temperatures and notable precipitation levels. As September begins with a heatwave, the Health Ministry urges caution, activating heat alert systems and providing guidance on coping with the extreme temperatures.
