'Sauna temperatures': How hot will it get in Germany this week?
Extreme heat is expected at the end of this week, especially in North Rhine-Westphalia and the southwest. Here's a look at the weather in Germany, from the eclipse on Wednesday evening through to the weekend.
Heatwaves are sweeping across Germany this week, with temperatures soaring to potentially record levels. The German Weather Service predicts Friday could see temperatures up to 39C in certain regions. Wednesday night's solar eclipse promises clear skies for stargazers in most areas, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 26C in the north and 26 to 35C in the rest of the country.
Overnight to Thursday remains mostly clear, providing excellent conditions for meteor shower viewing. However, temperatures are set to climb again Thursday, peaking at 37C in North Rhine-Westphalia and the southwest. This marks the fifth heatwave this summer, driven by climate change and weather patterns like El Niño. Cities like Berlin can expect a tropical night, with temperatures hovering around 21C.
The hottest day of the week is Friday, with temperatures reaching between 29 to 39C in many areas, though northern coasts will remain slightly cooler. Scattered thunderstorms may bring heavy rain and hail to some regions.
