The German Weather Service (DWD) said on Monday that the heat will build steadily before thunderstorms arrive later in the week, offering some relief.

Monday was already bringing plenty of sunshine, particularly in the southern half of the country, where skies were cloudless for much of the day.

Highs are expected to reach 32 degrees in areas.

The heat is set to intensify on Tuesday, with highs ranging from 30 to 36 degrees in the south.

Overnight lows could remain above 15 degrees.

On Wednesday, the heat will spread to encompass the north-east, with temperatures of 31 to 38 degrees expected.

The DWD warns of strong heat stress in parts of the south-west.

Most of the country will stay sunny, though isolated showers could develop over the southern highlands.

The hot spell is expected to last through Friday, when the likelihood of widespread thunderstorms will increase.
