List of extreme temperatures in Germany


The following table lists the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in each state in Germany, in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. The warmest year on record in Germany was 2018.

Temperature extremes by state

Important: In some federal states, even more extreme values are known to be measured on same or earlier dates. These dubious or unreliable values are not listed in this table unless they passed a basic temporal and spatial consistency & plausibility check. For this reason, the official national German record of 42.6 °C / 108.7 °F measured on 25 July 2019 at Lingen is not listed. It is irregular and incompatible with nearby stations data as well as with the atmospheric conditions. Lingen has at least a 2-year history of overexposure and of being unreliable, especially if weak easterly winds are prevailing, and is set to be moved by responsible station operator DWD. Overexposure at DWD's Lingen station is estimated to reach at least 2 °C / 3.6 °F.
In some cases, also stations from other operators of meteorological networks were listed if their values met the above stated requirements and could be classified as representative for a larger area.
