In the middle of the week it should be very hot again throughout Germany - with temperatures even exceeding the 40-degree mark.
In Bavaria, the heat should last a little longer.
Update from August 1, 7:50 p.m.:
This week will be an extremely sweaty affair.
For Wednesday and Thursday, the forecasts are now up to 40 degrees, as reported by

.
The US weather model even brings values of 41 or even 42 degrees into play.
It seems to be getting particularly hot in central and eastern Germany.
Extreme heat stress is even expected for Thursday due to particularly humid and therefore muggy air masses.
The temperatures on the Upper Rhine could even feel like 43 or 44 degrees.
The heat could also last on Friday, and on top of that there will be no precipitation.
The breather will probably also be very short, from Saturday the temperatures could rise again.
