After a long spell of sunny weather, most parts of Germany could see summer arrive early this week with clear blue skies and sweltering temperatures – but the hot spell may not last long, according to meteorologists.
Heat and sunshine should last through the middle of the week but suddenly give way to a slightly cooler spell over the weekend, the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts.
On Tuesday, most regions see temperatures in the mid to high 20s and a continuation of the dry weather of the past week. In the northeast, including Berlin, the mercury could reach 28C, and temperatures are likely to be between 22C and 28C across western and central areas.
Those in higher altitude regions of the south and those along the north coast should be the only people needing their rain jackets as this part of the country could see scattered showers and clouds, according to DWD.
Wednesday is the day to plan a lake trip as this is likely to be the hottest day of the week.
Most parts of the country will stay sunny and dry throughout the day and people can expect summery temperatures of between 24C and 30C.
For those on the north coast, it’s likely to be a little chillier, with temperatures of around 15C and partly overcast skies.
Thursday and Friday are likely to bring with them cooler temperatures, with the hot spell giving way to scattered showers and clouds in many regions over the weekend.
On Saturday, southern regions will see highs up of up to 23C while the northern regions will slip down to 18C during the day.
But anyone planning to be out and about on Saturday evening in the south should bring a warm jacket as the mercury could drop as low as 4C.

In an analysis published on the DWD website, the meteorologists claimed that the northern and eastern parts of Germany have been “clearly too dry” in the past weeks. Read More...
