First summer forecast: pattern emerging – jet stream could intensify extreme heat waves. Germany is expected to be overwhelmed by heat waves again this summer.
“Summer 2024 could be quite warm,” predicts meteorologist Dominik Jung from wetter.net. In 2022, there was extreme heat in Europe, with parts of Great Britain reaching 40 degrees Celsius in summer for the first time. The ten hottest and driest summers in Europe over the past 40 years are specifically linked to the melting of the ice sheet in Greenland.
