Up to 39°: Heat Wave Now Reaches Eastern Europe

Unbelievable, but in Berlin, the capital of Germany, today's maximum temperature will only reach 26 degrees Celsius, and it will be the same for the rest of the week, after a whole week of a long and sweaty heat wave. In the other capitals on the continent, temperatures are also returning to the average for late June-early July.

Although these are not low temperatures by any means, London and Amsterdam are measuring only 24 degrees today, and Paris is measuring 27 degrees. But now, the heat wave is heading to the east of the continent, where the suffering is going to be quite severe in the coming days.

The peak of this week's heat wave is Budapest, where tomorrow (Monday, June 30, 2026) 39 degrees is expected during the day. Temperatures are also expected to reach almost 40 degrees in many other cities in Eastern Europe, including Bratislava, Belgrade, Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, and many other cities. In Athens, today and tomorrow, only 34 degrees are measured.
