Hot days in Lower Saxony: up to 40 degrees and thunderstorms on the way!
Niedersachsen, Deutschland - Today, on June 19, 2025, the weather in Lower Saxony shows a clear turn. Forecasts for this June were more mixed and offered little of the sunny summer that many wanted. But the weather expert Dominik Jung von Wetter.net predicts an upcoming heat wave. The temperatures should rise to up to 27 degrees by June 21, with even values beyond the 30-degree mark on the 22nd. This warm air is due to a strong gush of hot air masses from Africa that runs across Europe.
A look at the coming days reveals that the heat will not only stop for a short time. According to the predictions, there are no cooling in sight for the next few weeks, on the contrary! Two large highs over Europe contribute to the summer -hot temperatures. On June 25th and 26th, even new heat waves from the west have been announced, with temperatures of 22 degrees already measured at 1,500 meters. This could lead to perceived 30 to 35 degrees on the ground. In all the heat, however, the precipitation falls by the wayside; Only on June 26th is a few rain signals possible. It is even expected that the temperatures climax up to 40 degrees at the beginning of July! The forecasts are temporarily, but due to the current trends, a heat wave is to be expected, which underpins the reported rising temperatures in Lower Saxony.
heat and thunderstorms in the march
But the weather has more to offer. In addition to the heat, thunderstorms can also be found in the prediction. Weather experts report that heat and thunderstorms will go hand in hand in Lower Saxony. A high -pressure area will shape the weather in the north. For the night of Wednesday, storms are expected, followed by a Wednesday that comes up with strong clouds and showers. The temperatures then drop to 24 to 28 degrees.
Looking back at the weather story of the year, August has promised a second heat period, but so far the coolness remains predominant. In the past, heavy rain has led to full basements and even a landslide in the Göttingen district. However, the forecast provides that no heavy rain can be expected in the coming days. Another bright spot: We expect up to 25 degrees in Bremen on Friday and 30 degrees on Sunday. The trend shows that it gets constantly warmer there, which promises the highlight of the temperatures.health consequences of the heat
With increasing temperatures, the health risks also increase. As the Federal Environment Agency states, a "hot day" is defined than a day with 30 ° C or more. High temperatures not only make the body sweat, but can also negatively influence the air quality by leading to the formation of ozone near the ground. This fact can aggravate existing respiratory diseases and trigger allergic reactions.
In Germany we recorded an average of 12.5 hot days last year. This number could continue to increase in the coming years. Climate models not only show a trend towards longer heat periods, but also to an increasing number of hot days. This has to be kept in mind, because especially in 2003, 2015 and 2018, the numbers were particularly high with 18 to 20 hot days.
The coming weeks in Lower Saxony promise to become warm and changeable. The residents are up to you whether a visit to one of the many beautiful beaches or in a shady park. In any case, it remains to be seen how the weather situation will develop.
