After a preliminary tabulation of data collected from its approx. 2000 stations across the country, the results of Germany\u2019s,\u00a0DWD national weather service in Offenbach<\/a>\u00a0show that earlier dramatic predictions of a \u201chellish summer\u201d have yet to come true.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

False alarmist predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, 2024, \u201cexperts\u201d like biologist Mark BeneckeIs warned that climate change \u201cwas coming to a head this summer<\/a>\u201d for Germany, predicting \u201cunprecedented heat\u201d in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June in Germany came in near normal, and now according to the DWD, July 2024 has also been \u201crather variable , with consistent summer weather simply refusing to materialize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brief periods of warm weather quickly got interrupted by showers and thunderstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slightly warmer than normal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean temperature in July 2024 (preliminary) was 18.9\u00b0C, or 0.6\u00b0C warmer than the 1991 to 2020 reference period mean of 18.3 \u00b0C. The start of the month was rather cool and autumnlike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The peak value was recorded at the Bad Muskau station (Saxony), where it reached 34.8\u00b0C on July 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 30th, temperatures plummeted again at night and the nationwide low of 3.8 \u00b0C, recorded in Deutschneudorf-Br\u00fcderwiese (Saxony).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few warm nights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tropical nights (when lows do not drop below 20.0 \u00b0C) were the exception rather than the rule and only occurred in small numbers on the Upper Rhine, in Lower Bavaria, Saxony and the greater Berlin area. Earlier reports warned<\/a> that German cities like Hamburg would see a sharp increase in warm tropical nights that would make sleep more difficult. So far there hasn\u2019t been one such night in Hamburg this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average rainfall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExperts\u201d also warned that Germany would see more drought in the summer as climate warming progresses. But this summer so far has been wetter than normal. According to the DWD, July saw 88 liters of rain per square meter. Compared to the climate reference period from 1991 to 2020 (87 l\/m\u00b2), July 2024 was practically dead-on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More sunshine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of sunshine in July, the country saw a mean of of 237 hours in July, which was only slightly above average compared to the 1991-2020 climate reference period (226 hours). That probably helped to make the month a bit warmer than average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
