People were seen spending time near fountains, shaded areas and open public spaces as the heat affected daily life in the German capital. The hot weather brought summer scenes to the city, with residents trying to find relief from the rising temperatures outdoors. Some forecasts predict local highs of 41 °C, “but there’s still some uncertainty,” according to the German Weather Service (DWD). On Friday, the heat is expected to spread to the rest of the country. Temperatures will remain below 35 °C only north of the Elbe and in some areas south of the Danube, according to reports. Elsewhere, temperatures will range between 36 °C and 38 °C, and in parts of the southwestern half of the country, between 39 °C and 40 °C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Germany was 41.2 °C, measured July 25, 2019, in the western towns of Tonisvorst and Duisburg-Baerl. The hottest day in June was recorded on June 30 of that year, in the eastern city of Bernburg at 39.6 °C.
