On Thursday temperatures around Germany will spike to up 38C - reigning in the fourth heat wave of the summer. Due to climate change, says Latif, there is double the amount of Hitzewellen in Germany as in 1980. “That is not normal anymore,” said Mojib Latif, a climate researcher at the Helmholz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel, told the Augsburger Allgemeine. For the north and northeast, meteorologists are predicting temperatures will rise up to 26C, whereas they will likely rise to 33C in the rest of the country. At night, temperatures likely won’t fall below 20C in some places.
