A significant heatwave continues across Germany over the weekend, accompanied by storm warnings. The German Weather Service is warning of high temperatures in several federal states, with values of up to 39 degrees Celsius expected in Hesse and up to 38 degrees in Baden-Württemberg. Die Zeit ↗
According to available reports, the heat affects practically the entire country. Already on Friday, June 19, heat warnings were in effect in all federal states. In Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, temperatures were expected to rise to as much as 36 degrees Celsius, while in Berlin and Brandenburg they were expected to exceed 30 degrees. The hot weather is also continuing in Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and North Rhine-Westphalia. Die Zeit ↗
The risk of storms is also linked to the high temperatures. Meteorologists are warning of severe weather, particularly in the west, center and east of the country. Heavy downpours, hail and gusts of wind can be expected. In Berlin and Brandenburg, violent storms may accompany the summer heat. Tagesschau ↗
The adverse weather has already had consequences. In Rastatt, Baden-Württemberg, nine people were injured after a lightning strike at a sports facility, where camping participants were also present during an event. In Schleswig-Holstein, a festival event was evacuated due to the weather. Medical facilities, for example in Cottbus, are also preparing for the effects of the heat. Tagesspiegel ↗
The weather outlook remains dependent on the storms, which may locally interrupt the sunny and very warm character of the start of the calendar summer. Tagesspiegel ↗
