Saxony is recovering: Sunny temperatures after a stormy weekend!
The change in the weather in Saxony has brought with it some surprising twists. After a week with high summer temperatures over 30 degrees and a real heat wave that also forced schools to take action by shortening classes, a quieter weekend is now in sight. Last week the region saw large crowds of visitors to ice cream parlors and outdoor pools as temperatures climbed to 38 degrees in some cases. On Friday the situation worsened with a risk of forest fires reaching the highest level 5 in northern and eastern Saxony. But on Sunday the all-clear was given: the forest fire risk was downgraded to very low to medium, i.e. levels 1 to 3, as Zeit.de reports.
The change not only brought a pleasant cooling, but also thunderstorms, which struck particularly heavily in the Vogtland and Western Erzgebirge and delivered over 20 liters of rain per square meter in places like Carlsfeld and Markneukirchen. But don't worry - the new week is off to a promising start. The forecast shows that temperatures on Monday will be between 23 and 26 degrees, while mountainous regions can expect slightly cooler values. The sky will be mostly sunny, with a few clouds now and then.
Outlook and weather trend
On Tuesday the thermometer climbs to a pleasant 26 to 29 degrees, and the mountain regions don't miss out either with around 24 degrees. Another highlight: There is no rain in sight for the time being. So you can breathe a sigh of relief and prepare for relaxed weather that is also ideal for outdoor activities. Information about exact temperatures can be found at Wetter.com.
However, experts warn that the risk of forest fires could increase again as temperatures rise at the beginning of the week. Both nature lovers and those responsible in the affected regions should keep this in mind. In fact, it's a good time to be active in nature, as long as the weather conditions are right and you keep an eye on the dangers.
This weather report is no coincidence - a number of weather studies show that such extreme weather conditions are not just sporadic. Trends are also similar in other parts of Europe, such as in Vienna, where similar weather patterns are expected.
