Germany braces for heatwave with temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius

Germany is bracing for a significant heatwave, with meteorologists predicting temperatures could soar to 38 degrees Celsius. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts the heat will intensify from the south on Monday, reaching up to 37 degrees in the southwest. Residents should also prepare for isolated severe thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds, with a risk of localized extreme weather.

Little respite is expected overnight, as many urban areas in western Germany anticipate a "tropical night" with minimum temperatures exceeding 20 degrees Celsius. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also likely. Wednesday will continue the hot and humid conditions across parts of the country, though northwestern regions may experience more moderate highs between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius. "To the southeast, the sweating will continue with peak temperatures up to 35 degrees and high humidity," warned meteorologist Nico Bauer of the DWD.
