Weather in Germany 2020: Expert warns of "shock forecast"
Meteorologist Dominik Jung from wetter.net, who recently made heavy accusations against the German Weather Service (DWD), is extremely worried. He titled the forecast of the British weather service as a " shock forecast ". The Met Office figures point to another record heat across Europe.
Extreme heat should be under control throughout 2020 . For the summer, experts constantly expect temperatures above 40 degrees . Record-breaking values are feared. "That is a bad prognosis," says Dominik Jung. 2020 could be the second warmest year since weather records began in 1850. Now there is another forecast for the summer of 2020 that scares even the weather expert. But so far not much of it has been felt - where is the hot summer? By the way: You can check the German weather average at Merkur.de *.
Extreme heat 2020? New year could break records
The Met Office figures reveal something terrifying. The past five years make up the top 5 hottest years . 2019 is now in second place behind 2016, but could promptly be displaced again.
Climate activists in particular are likely to be extremely shocked by these values. The global rise in temperature confirms all fears about the extent of climate change . In large parts of Germany it has also rained too little and the third drought in a row is looming.
Weather in Germany 2020: Feared mega heat more than just guesswork
Of course it is still just a forecast , but the UK Meteorological Service recently proved its accuracy. “At that time, our colleagues from Great Britain forecast a deviation of 1.10 degrees Celsius for 2019 . We are currently at 1.11 degrees Celsius . That was really an excellent forecast. If that goes just as well in 2020, then you can already imagine what that means, ”explains weather expert Dominik Jung.

Hot summers in Germany: New record heat could have devastating consequences
Many will not have forgotten the mega heat of last summer. In addition to humans, however, the flora and fauna in particular suffer. A renewed drought could also give the agricultural sector a hard time. Farmers complained last year under the extreme conditions. 2020 could get worse.
Snow cover, sub-zero temperatures, cozy winter jackets: this is how a real winter should be. But at the beginning of the year it looks different. Winter threatens to become a "total failure". However, further forecasts in January 2020 suggest a cold snap. A weather glitch on TV caused amusement on the net. The reason for the laughter is a misspelled word in the subtext.
It could be very warm on Father's Day too. A meteorologist made a clear statement about the weather forecast. But already at the weekend there should be a drop in temperature in Germany. Is there now a cold snap instead of the long-awaited summer?
Experts, however, expressed alarming prospects: The sea level will rise much more extreme than expected.
