Berlin and Brandenburg: Summer heat returns - storm warning possible!

Weather expert Dominik Jung predicts an upcoming “heat tip” for the region, which could be accompanied by strong thunderstorms. On Tuesday, temperatures of up to 28 degrees are expected, but they could go hand in hand with a storm in the evening. Rainfalls are likely because the storm fronts from the west approach.

July above the average and the effects of the climate crisis

July has turned out to be significantly warmer than the national average. The temperature is currently 0.6 degrees above the climate medium from 1991 to 2020 and 1.8 degrees above the average temperature from 1961 to 1990. These temperature deviations are worrying, especially in the context of the continuing climate crisis, which is shown in both Germany and in other European countries.

In contrast to Berlin and Brandenburg, where the temperatures could soon rise to 32 degrees, southern Europe is already fighting with extreme heat phases and water shortages. Media reports from Italy reported a dry Lago Fanaco in Sicily, which underlines the severity of the climatic changes.

Community and weather conditions

The changing weather conditions not only affect the climate, but also on the daily life of the people in Berlin and Brandenburg. In particular, the temperatures and peaks of the heat influence the health care of the population and the need to better prepare for extreme weather events. In view of the upcoming heat wave, it is advisable to take precautions to protect yourself from the health risks of overheating.

It remains to be seen how the weather situation will develop, but one thing is certain: July is also evident in the main city region from its warmer side, and the weather conditions will continue to cause excitement.
