Meteorologist Jan Schenk has warned that Europe could experience another wave of extreme heat in July, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in Germany. The beginning of July is expected to bring more variable and slightly cooler weather with increased rainfall, but this pattern is unlikely to last. By mid-July, a new heatwave is anticipated, driven by a high-pressure air mass developing over Spain and France before spreading across central Europe, including Germany. This heat dome effect could trap hot air, leading to prolonged periods of high temperatures. Additionally, the combination of extended heat and dry conditions increases the risk of severe thunderstorms toward the end of the month, mirroring patterns seen in June.
