Baden-Württemberg: up to 39 °C on July 30, July heat record threatened
Baden-Württemberg, a state in southwestern Germany, may set a new July temperature record on July 30, 2026, according to Die Zeit. Temperatures up to 39 °C, with occasional peaks near 40 °C, are forecast for the region. However, the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), Germany's national weather service, considers the probability of breaking this record "rather unlikely." A cold front expected in the afternoon should drop temperatures by about 6 °C, making the timing of the heat peak critical to whether the record is broken.
