Historical temperature increase of more than 40 degrees in one week
Tuesday, February 23, 11.49 a.m .: First bitter frost, then sunshine and mild spring weather: within a few days, the weather in Germany has turned a record. This is what the climate researchers from the German Weather Service calculated. The temperature has never risen as sharply within seven days since the start of the recordings as the measured values now confirmed by the Göttingen weather station. While a low of minus 23.8 degrees was measured there on February 14, the high on February 21 was 18.1 degrees – an increase of 41.9 degrees.
In order to find something even remotely comparable, the weather researchers had to go way back in time: The previous record was set in May 1880, i.e. in the early days of weather records. At that time, a temperature increase of 41 degrees was measured within seven days, said a spokesman for the DWD.
In northern Germany, according to the information, two regional heat records were also measured in winter on Monday: In Quickborn in Schleswig-Holstein the maximum value was 18.9 degrees and was thus still above the record value of 17.8 degrees measured two years earlier. In Hamburg, even 21.1 degrees were measured at the Neuwiedenthal weather station on Monday. The previous record at the same station of 18.1 degrees at the same station a good year earlier was “pulverized”, according to a DWD spokesman. “For the first time since the beginning of the temperature recordings, the temperature in Hamburg has risen above 20 degrees in winter.”
