Get out the sunscreen and fill your water bottles – summer is returning with full force! An extraordinary weather situation is now bringing hot desert air to Germany, causing temperatures to climb above 30 degrees. Especially in Cologne and Basel, peak values of up to 32 degrees are expected.

How hot it will be in your region

The heatwave is particularly noticeable in the western half of the country. While Cologne and the Rhineland can expect temperatures of up to 32 degrees, it remains somewhat more moderate in the east and north of Germany, but still summerly warm. Experts from wetteronline predict that the heatwave will last for several days – ideal conditions for spontaneous visits to the outdoor pool or barbecues in the open air.

The reason behind the sudden heat

We owe the extraordinary warmth to a special weather situation where hot air masses from the Sahara are being directed straight to Central Europe. This desert air not only causes high temperatures but also brings a slightly yellowish sky in some places – a phenomenon caused by fine sand particles in the air.

Curious snail shell low-pressure area causes a stir

While most of us enjoy the summer heat, a special weather phenomenon is causing excitement among meteorologists: The low-pressure area NORMAN shows an extremely unusual snail shell shape on the weather radar. Such spiral structures are rarely observed and represent a meteorological peculiarity. Experts from wetteronline have already documented this fascinating natural spectacle.

What does the heat mean for your everyday life?

With temperatures beyond the 30-degree mark, you should take some precautions: Drink plenty of water, avoid direct sunlight during midday hours, and also think of your four-legged friends who can particularly suffer from the heat. Experts recommend moving strenuous activities to the early morning or late evening hours.

How long will the summer boost last?

The current forecast from wetteronline suggests that the summer temperatures will remain with us for a few more days. Only towards the end of the week could a cold front bring cooling and possibly also strong thunderstorms. Until then, it's time to enjoy summer while it's here!
