The late summer heat wave in Germany reached its preliminary climax on Tuesday.
After the local fog has dissolved, the sun will shine with a few clouds.
The daily highs are between 29 and 34 degrees, at the sea it gets a little cooler.
There is a weak wind blowing from different directions.
High "Leiki" brings the rather unusual heat for mid-September.
Although low "Timona" will cause
a noticeable drop in temperature
from
Wednesday
, especially on the coasts, there is still no question of autumn.
"Towards the south-west it remains summery with values between 24 and 26 degrees, on the Upper Rhine up to 28 degrees can be reached locally," said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach.
There can be some rain in the middle of Germany.
Even on
Thursday it
can get another 28 degrees on the Upper Rhine.
What about the weekend?
The next high comes again.
"Hoch Manfred approaches from the North Sea and ensures calm weather conditions with lots of sunshine," said the weather expert.
Cheers for the lows - DWD is looking for namesakes
People who would like to name a low pressure area or a high for the coming year can do so by acting as a godfather.
From Wednesday, Berlin meteorologists would be giving out weather sponsorships again, announced students from the Institute for Meteorology in Berlin.
High pressure areas will have female first names and low pressure areas male names in 2021.
The prices are 360 euros for the apparently more popular highs and 240 euros for the lows.
The student weather observation in Berlin-Dahlem will be financed with the income.
This year the lows have female names and the highs male names.
In February, a series of lows around "Sabine", "Yulia" and "Victoria" ensured a stormy and wet month across Europe, before the high "Ingolf" in mid-March ensured the weather settled down for a long time.
In summer, the highs "Detlef" and "Emil" caused a heat wave.
This was interrupted by low "Heike" in the first half of August.
