HEATWAVE: New Record – Weather Service Reports Highest Temperature Ever Measured in Germany! The heat wave has reached its peak: The German Weather Service (DWD) has recorded the highest temperature ever measured in Germany so far. However, this record could quickly be surpassed. According to preliminary data, the German Weather Service (DWD) has registered 41.3 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature ever recorded in Germany. The preliminary high was measured at 5 p.m. in Saarbrücken-Burbach in Saarland, as the weather service confirmed upon request. The previous heat record for Germany was 41.2 degrees Celsius, measured on July 25, 2019, in Tönisvorst and Duisburg-Baerl in North Rhine-Westphalia. Since the preliminary reading was taken at 5 p.m., the temperature could rise even further later in the day. According to the weather service, it was also particularly hot in Bad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate and Kitzingen in Bavaria, both reaching 40.7 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. These are all preliminary figures – they may be revised by the weather service. Several records broken This reading breaks several records: In addition to the highest temperature ever recorded, it also breaks the June record for Germany. The previous record was 39.6 degrees Celsius, measured on June 30, 2019, in Bernburg, Saxony-Anhalt. In Saarland, the previous all-time record was 40.2 degrees Celsius, recorded on July 25, 2019, in Neunkirchen-Wellesweiler.

The strain is particularly intense because temperatures currently offer no real relief at night. Extreme weather events becoming more frequent due to the climate crisis Extreme weather events have become more frequent in Germany due to the climate crisis – and are likely to increase further. Data from the weather service confirms that the average number of days with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius has increased in Germany. And no relief from the heat is in sight for the weekend. On Saturday, the weather service forecasts temperatures between 36 and 41 degrees Celsius, with some areas even reaching 42 degrees. Even at night, temperatures will only cool down slightly in some places. On Saturday night, isolated thunderstorms with the potential for severe weather are possible in the northwest and north. According to the forecast, lows will range between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. When will it get cooler again? On Sunday, thunderstorms, strong gusts of wind, hail, and heavy rain are expected. The heat wave will then shift somewhat eastward: Temperatures could reach up to 41 degrees Celsius in the Lausitz region, and generally between 39 and 41 degrees Celsius in the east and southeast – and between 32 and 38 degrees Celsius in the rest of Germany. A slight cooling is not expected in Germany until Monday. It will "no longer be as hot as before," with highs between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius, and locally up to 30 degrees. ... #Germany #heatwave #record #worldnewschannel Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel    / weltvideotv   WELT DOKU Channel    / weltdoku   WELT Podcast Channel    / weltpodcast   WELT Netzreporter Channel    / dienetzreporter   The WELT News Livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news stories on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT News Channel on Instagram   / welt.nachrichtensender   WELT on Instagram   / welt   A note from us: Due to the high volume of inappropriate and offensive comments, we are currently unable to allow comments.
