In parts of the country, the new week begins again like summer. New temperature records are not to be expected. But the mercury column climbs well above the 20-degree mark, especially in the south and east. But in the next few days, the weather changes.
In large parts of the country, the new week begins again like summer. Temperatures of up to 26 degrees Celsius are possible, especially in the south. The reason for this is the influx of Sahara air over Spain and southern France, as ntv meteorologist Björn Alexander says. And the warm air has something else with it: dust. This temporarily makes the sky appear somewhat milky. As a result, the sunrises and sunsets also appear more colour-intensive.
Despite the up to 26 degrees in the east, no October records in terms of temperatures are in danger this Monday. However, it could be enough for a few new peak values, especially in the east.
But already in the afternoon the change in the weather announced: The cold front from low "Freya" hit the northwest of the country. Until Tuesday evening, it will advance in the direction of the Danube. In the night on Wednesday she reaches the Alps. From Wednesday, autumn weather will return to normal throughout the country.
However, showers and thunderstorms can already occur this afternoon from North Rhine-Westphalia to the North and Baltic Seas. These will then spread to the Danube by tomorrow evening. From the High Rhine via Lake Constance to the foothills of the Alps, it will be sunny for a long time and again warm up to 20 to 24 degrees. In the northwest, meanwhile, friendly weather is set in with only isolated drops. Maximum values bring it in the north and the center to 14 to 19 degrees. A strong north-west wind is blowing on the sea.
