Over 40 degrees across the board: the whole east is glowing

The heat bell from France has reached us and is making us really sweat. “The peak is expected on Sunday. Then there will probably be 40 degrees across the east. That has never happened before,” said qualified meteorologist Dominik Jung from Wetter.net to BILD. The East is glowing on Sunday!

“We’ll probably do the 40 hat trick on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That’s historic,” said Jung. It starts on Friday in the west. Meteorologist Oliver Reuter from the DWD: “Specifically, this is particularly evident from the Upper Rhine to the Rhine-Main area, with highs of 41 degrees possible.”

Sunday up to 43 degrees

According to the DWD, the German all-time record could be shaken as early as Saturday. It is 41.2 degrees, measured on July 25, 2019 in Duisburg-Baerl and Tönisvorst in North Rhine-Westphalia. The weather service expects temperatures between 37 and 40 degrees, but temperatures around 41 degrees are also possible in the Rhine-Main area and in Brandenburg.

It will be hellishly hot on Sunday, and the whole east will be the hotspot: initial forecasts were in Temperatures of up to 44 degrees for Berlin and Brandenburg. Dr. Karsten Brandt from Donnerwetter: “The question is how far the thunderstorms will get on Sunday. Then it can get up to 43 degrees. Especially near Cottbus Brandenburg and in the region to the border with Poland.”

This would destroy all previous heat records. Dr. Karsten Brandt: “That is the worst and strongest Heat wave any times.”
