Summer is returning this weekend.

2026-07-20

Germany has been experiencing unusually cool weather for July, but forecasters say summer is set to return this weekend as temperatures begin climbing across much of the country.

Recent days have brought below-average temperatures, frequent rain showers, and cloudy skies to many regions, leaving many people wondering if summer had come to an early end. The cooler conditions have been caused by a series of low-pressure systems moving across central Europe, keeping warm air away.

Meteorologists now expect a significant improvement in the weather starting this weekend. High-pressure systems are forecast to move into Germany, bringing more sunshine, drier conditions, and noticeably warmer temperatures across many parts of the country.

In several regions, daytime temperatures are expected to rise back into the mid to upper 20s Celsius, while some southern and western areas could even approach or exceed 30°C if the warm weather pattern strengthens. The improved conditions are expected to make outdoor activities much more enjoyable after a prolonged cool spell.

Although isolated showers cannot be ruled out in some areas, weather experts say the overall trend points toward a return of typical summer weather. Residents are advised to enjoy the warmer conditions while staying updated on local forecasts, as weather patterns can still vary from region to region during the coming days.
