Thunderstorm end sprint: heat up to 35 degrees and severe weather warnings for Germany!

Offenbach, Deutschland - On June 12, 2025, the first heat wave of the year brings high temperatures in Germany. According to the current weather reports, the values ​​in some regions increase up to 35 degrees, but only for a short time. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of violent thunderstorms that will end the heat wave next weekend. In particular, some regions are affected by heavy rain for several hours, with precipitation of up to 40 liters per square meter and thunderstorm cells that can form in western and southwestern mountain country.

The temperature forecasts for Friday show an impressive range: While the maximum values ​​of only 19 degrees are expected on Rügen, up to 35 degrees can be reached in the southwest. In many cities, the warm air causes tropical nights in which the temperatures do not fall below 20 degrees. The DWD recommends moving outdoors to the morning or late in the evening to minimize the heat stress.

severe weather warnings

On Saturday it will be sunny, with the east usually staying dry. In the northern and eastern parts of Germany, temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees are expected, while the rest of the country can expect 29 to 35 degrees. However, the risk of storm in the west and southwest is still given with the formation of source clouds, and the weather conditions can change quickly. The Storm Center provides a comprehensive overview of acute weather warnings that are continuously monitored by professional meteorologists.

For Sunday, strong showers and thunderstorms are announced in the southeastern half of Germany. While the precipitation subsides in the northwest and west, it remains mostly sunny and dry in the far east and southeast. The temperature range ranges from mild 20 degrees on the North Sea up to 32 degrees on the Neiße on this day.

effects on agriculture

The agricultural meteorological departments provide relevant information on heat stress in agriculture. Poultry is particularly sensitive, which suffers from high temperatures. A enthalpy of up to 67 kJ/kg in the outside air can be achieved without exceeding the critical limit of 72 kJ/kg in the stable air. The use of plant protection products containing clomazone is prohibited at daily maximum temperatures above 25 degrees. Information on this is regularly on wetterfahren.de updated.

The coming days are a challenge, both for the population and for agriculture. High temperatures and impending storm require special caution and preventive measures to get safely through this dynamic weather period.
