The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts temperatures will climb to 25 degrees Celsius in the Allgäu region and reach up to 32 degrees Celsius in the Upper Rhine valley.

However, the DWD's warning maps indicate a rising risk of forest and grassland fires, with some areas reaching the highest danger level. Maximum temperatures on Tuesday are forecast to be 27 degrees Celsius in the Black Forest and 34 degrees Celsius along the southern Upper Rhine. Winds from the west will bring strong, and in exposed and mountainous areas, sometimes stormy gusts.
