Heatwave Grips Germany and Europe: Live Data Shows Record Temperatures

Germany and much of Europe are currently trapped under a severe heatwave, with extreme temperatures persisting for over a week and forecasts indicating further increases. This prolonged period of high temperatures has led to record-breaking measurements across Germany, particularly notable for occurring in June.

To provide real-time information, live data tables are available, allowing the public to track the hottest and coldest locations within Germany. These tables display air temperatures measured at a height of two meters above the ground, with updates occurring every ten minutes.

The data is sourced from a measurement network operated by the German Weather Service (DWD). Before appearing in the tables, the information undergoes an automatic quality control process. While considered preliminary until a more detailed review by the DWD, these readings offer an immediate snapshot of the ongoing extreme weather conditions.
