Stuttgart (dpa) – According to preliminary figures, there is a nationwide heat record for the first ten days of April since weather records began: On Saturday, 30.1 degrees were measured in Ohlsbach in the Rhine Valley, as a spokesman for the German Weather Service announced in the evening. The previous heat record of 27.7 degrees was clearly exceeded.
“Large parts of the measuring stations today had new highs for the first decade of April, especially in the central and southern federal states,” said the spokesman.
However, the 30.1 degrees is only a provisional number. The data will be checked again in the coming days.
According to the DWD, the previous heat record for the first decade in April (April 1st to April 10th) was measured on April 7th, 2011 in Rheinfelden, also in Baden-Württemberg. The temperature record for the entire month was registered on April 28, 2012: it was 32.9 degrees in Bad Mergentheim (Baden-Württemberg) and Kitzingen (Bavaria).
