The people in the southwest will have to deal with tropical nights and extremely hot days in the next few days – up to 35 degrees are expected in downtown Stuttgart. If you like it cooler, there is mainly one region in the country.

In the next few days, more sweating is announced in the south-west. The German Weather Service (DWD) has warned of extreme heat stress for the Upper Rhine region. The temperatures could reach up to 34 degrees in Breisgau, the DWD announced on Tuesday. The maximum values this week can be expected on Thursday and Friday, said DWD meteorologist Marco Puckert. It could also get up to 35 degrees in the center of Stuttgart and south of the airport to Metzingen. The experts are expecting thunderstorms towards the end of the week – it is still unclear when exactly. “Storms are also possible,” said Puckert.
When exactly the thunderstorms will start is currently “relatively unclear,” he said. The computer models are very different here. In the next few days, however, the weather experts are expecting hardly any thunderstorms – at most very selectively. The risk of thunderstorms will increase on Thursday evening or Friday. But it could also be that the thunderstorms only really start on Saturday night.
The start and location of the storm is not yet clear
Storms are also possible – where exactly is still unclear. “There is an incredible amount of water in the air at the moment,” said Puckert. If a cold front moves into the country towards the weekend, “a lot of water will come from the sky”.
Up to and including Friday, however, the midsummer hot and humid air mass will remain over the southwest. That means: More than 30 degrees during the day and at night are more widespread tropical nights – i.e. nights in which the temperatures do not drop below 20 degrees. On Thursday, “another blast of hot, muggy air from the Mediterranean region” will reach us. After temperatures of 31 or 32 degrees, it could be another one or two degrees more. If you want it cooler, you have to go to the Upper Black Forest: Friday will be between 21 and 25 degrees above 1200 meters.
Weather service warns of UV radiation
The DWD also expects increased UV radiation by Thursday. A meteorologist from the weather service had therefore advised at the beginning of the week to think of sunscreen and a hat and to avoid the blazing sun.
There will be rain or rain showers in the country by Saturday at the latest. “From Saturday, the muggy, hot air will gradually be replaced by slightly cooler air,” said Puckert. He expected moderately warm Atlantic air around 20 to 25 degrees from Sunday. “From Sunday we can air again.”
