Overview
- Germany will experience a warm and sunny weekend with daytime highs reaching up to 25 °C, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
- Nighttime temperatures are expected to drop sharply, with frost possible in low-lying areas where ground-level temperatures could fall to −2 °C.
- Rainfall remains scarce, with only isolated showers anticipated in mountainous regions such as the Hochschwarzwald and the Alps.
- The persistent high-pressure system has led to critically low soil moisture, with large parts of Germany classified under moderate to exceptional drought conditions.
- Long-term forecasts predict a high likelihood of above-average summer temperatures, increasing the risks of wildfires and further strain on agricultural yields.
