Glorious late summer weather on the way

After record-breaking temperatures this week, Germans will get a break from the heat with brief thundershowers on Friday that will cool things off just in time for a pleasant late-summer weekend.

- Arctic cold wreaks quirky havoc across Germany (8 Feb 12)
- GM threatens major job cuts at Opel (8 Feb 12)
The heat was most intense in the southwestern and western regions of the country, where the DWD issued a weather warning. Many weather stations in the country registered temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius.
But the “record hunt is ending,” the DWD spokesperson said on Friday.
Rain and possible severe thunderstorms in southern and eastern regions will greet Germans on Friday morning, but by afternoon temperatures could still reach up to 30 degrees Celsius in the east. The rest of the country will register temperatures between a comfortable 21 and 26 degrees Celsius.
Meteorologists expect temperatures will remain between a summery range of 25 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the weekend with plenty of sunshine.
