High summer bids farewell
Temperature changes in Europe

A white arrow between the maps marks the change in temperature.Temperature radar: The midsummer heat is noticeably subsiding. After reaching temperatures of around 30 degrees in some places, it is cooling down significantly in Western Europe.

A significant change in temperature is affecting large parts of Europe this week. Today, peak temperatures of around 30 degrees will be reached from northern Spain to France and the Benelux countries, while tomorrow the maximum temperatures will only reach between 18 and 22 degrees.

Even in the western Mediterranean and, from midweek onwards, in Italy, the extreme heat with temperatures around or above 35 degrees is over. At night, it finally cools down there and in the afternoon it rises to a more bearable 30 degrees.

Cooler air will also reach the Balkans and Eastern Europe by the weekend. In Greece and Turkey, however, it is likely to remain hot for longer.
