In the past few days, a heat wave has rolled over Germany, which is unusual for the weather in this country.
Now it's getting cooler - but the summer remains.
The weather in Germany has so far provided plenty of
sunshine
and
drought
in
September
.
The
temperatures
are also
unusually high
for the
time of year
and even made for another tropical night.
From
Thursday
it will be
cooler
in the whole of
Germany
.
However,
summer
is not over yet.
Wiesbaden - The highs
Kevin
and
Leiki
brought Germany unusually high
temperatures
and lots of
sunshine
in the past few days
- hardly
anyone had to fear storms anywhere in
Germany
.
There was only a local risk of
thunderstorms
.
In many places, the
weather stations had
even
measured
all-time record values
for the month of September.
Temperatures often rose to over 30, in some places even over 35 degrees on Tuesday.
In Geilenkirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia) the
population was
sweating
at
temperatures
of now 36.2 degrees.
“After the
heat,
Wednesday night
also brought a tropical night,” said
meteorologist
Dominik Jung to the weather
portal wetter.net
.
In many places, the temperatures did not drop below 20 degrees.
Shortly before
sunrise
, the
weather station
in Bad Marienberg (Rhineland-Palatinate) still
measured
about 22.6 degrees.
Weather in Germany: After the heat wave, the temperatures drop on Thursday - but the summer remains
However, the long-lasting summer
weather
also has its negative sides: low humidity and extreme
drought put a
strain on nature and the environment.
But even in the coming days, the
weather
in
Germany will
not bring any improvement in the form of
precipitation
.
It remains summery and mostly dry.
Only 17 DWD stations did not reach a meteorological summer day (Tmax ≥25 ° C).
A tropical night was registered at higher altitudes in the western low mountain range and in Essen-Bredeney.
Here the minimum did not drop below 20 ° C on the night of September 16, 2020.

A delayed vacation to the Mediterranean should not only be reconsidered due to the rising number of coronavirus infections, but also because bad
weather
threatens there.
Many
lows
have established themselves in the Mediterranean region.
In Greece today, a so-called
Medicane
is still
expected - a violent storm low, the strength of which is similar to a hurricane.
"That will bring bad
weather
around Greece
through storms and
heavy rain
", says Dominik Jung, and continues: "In contrast, the
summer weather continues
with a lot of
sunshine here
".

Nevertheless, it will cool down in
Germany
in the coming days - at least a little.
While the
weather
in the
west
still brought
temperatures
of up to 33 degrees
on Wednesday
, the whole of
Germany
expects
significantly cooler polar air from the north from Thursday.
With daily
sunshine
and
temperatures
between 20 and 24 degrees, people in North and East Germany can still enjoy the mild September days for the next week.
In the west and south, the
thermometers
even
measure
around 25 or even more degrees.
Severe weather
can
only occur locally
.
So Germany can look forward to a real summer September with awesome temperatures.
After record-breaking temperatures: The weather in Germany is cooling down - but it remains summery
The signs are currently good that the
population
of
Germany
can look forward
to an
Indian summer again
this year
.
This is an annual
period of good weather
between late September and early October.
The first
forecasts
for the
weather
in
autumn
are also already available.
Meteorologists
assume that after the September summer something unusual will follow.
