Bitter summer start: heavy rain instead of heat over Germany!

Bitter summer start: heavy rain instead of heat over Germany!

Deutschland - The meteorological summer 2025 started today on June 3 and initially brings little heat. Instead, a wet weather situation announces itself, which entails strong precipitation, especially in southern Germany. In the first seven days of the month, significant rains of over 100 liters per square meter, especially in the Alpine region, can be expected. This weather development contradicts the original forecasts of the European ECMWF model, which had targeted a warm summer start with temperatures above 35 degrees. However, the American GFS model has announced mixed weather from the start, which now turns out to be the more precise prediction, as hna reported.

Hope for an early heat wave that has been forecast in long -term models currently seems unrealistic. Although the first signals for warmer weather could occur after Pentecost, with temperatures of up to 35 degrees, the weather conditions remain unsafe. Meteorologists warn of a warm and warm atmosphere that increases the likelihood of thunderstorms and storms. Summer could thus be shaped more often by showers and dramatic weather events.

effects of climate change on the weather

The risks of extreme weather in Germany and Europe are increasing due to climate change. According to a report by the World Climate (IPCC), the surface temperature of the earth increases rapidly, which also influences the frequency and intensity of extreme weather experiences such as heavy rain and heat waves. People are the main cause of climate change. The wwf indicates that heavy rain in Western Europe has become more likely due to climate change. Due to the increasing warming, situations such as the devastating flood disaster in Germany in July 2021, in which over 180 people lost their lives, could occur more frequently in the future.

A long -term look is also required for the current weather forecasts. Meteorologists see real chances of several tropical nights for the summer of 2025 and are still careful with predictions about extreme heat waves. ZDF weather expert Özden Terli explains that heated seas and high evaporation can lead to an increased risk of storm. A summer can be considered "warm" even without constant extreme heat, which is important for the assessment of the upcoming months. In this context, meteorological specialist Michael Bogusch recommends preparation for possible heat waves. Cities and municipalities should therefore also take precautions in terms of urban development and disaster protection.

uncertainties in the forecasts

The long -term weather forecasts are naturally shaped by uncertainties. After a dry winter and spring there is a big precipitation deficit, which the weather is complicated. June 20 could be crucial for the stability of the high -pressure locations and thus for the further summer weather. The report of T-Online is considered rather unrealistic, nevertheless the focus must be on preparation for possibilities for possibilities.
