Germany is predicted to experience a particularly hot summer this year, with forecasts indicating above-average temperatures and potential heat dome events beginning in July. The German Weather Service (DWD) anticipates higher average temperatures this summer compared to the 1991-2020 baseline. Notably, the probability of a heat dome, which can lead to prolonged heat waves, is over 70%. However, forecasters caution that long-term predictions carry uncertainty due to the complexity of weather systems influenced by various environmental factors.
Longer-term seasonal forecasts suggest that Germany could be headed for a particularly hot summer, with higher than average temperatures from July to September.
A heat dome happens when a high-pressure system traps hot air over a specific region, causing significantly higher temperatures and often prolonged heat waves.
From July on, the Weather Channel puts the probability of Germany experiencing one of its hottest summers at more than 70 percent.
The DWD's figures suggest that Germany could see summer temperatures comparable to those recorded last year.
