  • Bremen and Lower Saxony in northern Germany are expected to experience a return of very hot weather starting Wednesday, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Thursday is forecast to be even hotter, potentially reaching up to 37 degrees Celsius in southeastern Lower Saxony, accompanied by an increased risk of thunderstorms.
  • The extreme heat is predicted to subside by Friday, with temperatures dropping below 30 degrees Celsius across most of Bremen and Lower Saxony, although southern Germany will remain hot.

After a period of cooler temperatures, northern Germany is bracing for a significant heatwave. Bremen and the state of Lower Saxony are expected to see temperatures soar again starting Wednesday, with the German Weather Service (DWD) predicting highs well above 30 degrees Celsius in areas around Bremen, Hanover, and Göttingen. The East Frisian Islands will likely remain slightly cooler.

Thursday is anticipated to bring even more intense heat, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 37 degrees Celsius in southeastern Lower Saxony. This surge in heat will also increase the likelihood of thunderstorms, a condition expected to persist through Friday.

However, relief is in sight by Friday, as the extreme heat is forecast to dissipate. Temperatures across most of Bremen and Lower Saxony are expected to fall below the 30-degree mark, settling into a still summery range of 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the southern regions of Germany are predicted to continue experiencing high temperatures.

It remains summery warm with 25 to 28 degrees.
