a year Ago was groaning in Germany under an unprecedented heat wave. Also in this year July ends hot records but will not be broken for the time being.

The German weather service (DWD) recognized in the balance sheet after a first evaluation of its around 2000 measuring stations on Thursday.

The July 2020 was warm and the sunshine is rich, but particularly to significantly dry. The hottest days of the month are still to come.

“especially in the southwest, the dog days make your name all honor,” said Jens Bonewitz of the weather Forecast center. Of a heat wave, he does not want to speak, rather, of an “Intermezzo”.

From the record level of last summer, 42,6 degrees, we are still a bit away.

Tomorrow, but it seems to have been strong in the sun “with small flaws in the black forest and the Alps”, as Bonewitz limits.

In the southwest, the temperatures can reach local 37 to 38 degrees. With the exception of the North and North-East, the values increase everywhere else is over 30 degrees, sometimes significantly.

heat-Intermezzo provides tropical nights

“The heat load is quite strong, and the tropical night does the rest,” says Bonewitz. In the tropical nights, the temperatures do not fall below 20 degrees.

at the end of June and beginning of July, there were already local nights Tropics, for example, on the 27. June on the lower Rhine. On 5. July reported to the DWD tropical nights at 20 measuring stations.

Saturday is still hot. In the South and southwest, it can be again hot-up to 38 degrees. On Sunday, the 30 degree mark cracks is probably only still in the East. Then will be merged with the Western flow of slightly cooler air.

The shower and thunderstorm risk increases starting at Saturday from the West significantly. The new week starts with the cooler Atlantic air overall, and with a subdued days maxima between 22 and 27 degrees.

The monthly balance looks so: The average Temperature was 17.7 degrees, 0.8 degrees above the value of the internationally valid reference period 1961 to 1990. Compared to the reference period 1981 to 2010, the July 2020 was 0.3 degrees too cold.

The nation’s lowest temperature registered German Neudorf brothers meadow in the ore mountains on the 12. July, 1.1 degree. “In July, showed up in southern Germany,” said the DWD: Rheinfelden and Regensburg reported ten days with more than 30 degrees.

With around 50 litres per square metre of July reached only 65 percent of its Requirements (78 litres). Areas in which the Precipitation was fulfilled, were mostly in the South and in the far North.

At the 2. July saw Murnau am Staffelsee with 96.8 liters per square meter of the nation’s highest daily amount. In the wet it was up to 240 litres in the Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden Alps.

In the southwest area were, however, less than 10 liters per square meter.

“The sunshine balance in July 2020 there is a clear North-South divide,” wrote the statisticians. The sun seemed to be more than 230 hours were 9 per cent above the target, (212 hours).

most of the sun showed in the West and the middle of Baden-württemberg and Western Bavaria. In East Frisia, in the middle and in the North of Schleswig-Holstein, they seemed to be the least.
