All-time record #cold July temp in parts of #Germany
An extremely cold night is behind us. In Rotenburg even set a new negative record. Do we have to expect ground frost and cold in the coming nights?
Only a few days ago we could hardly sleep because of the extreme heat and the tropical nights. And now it is unusually cold for July. Does the weather play crazy?
Who thinks that July is guaranteed free of frost in Germany, is wrong. Proof of this is the night from Wednesday (03.07.) To Thursday (04.07.). Thus, in Deutschneudorf at a height of 5 centimeters, a low of -2 degrees was measured (ground frost).
How rare ground frost occurs in July, a glance at the weather statistics shows: For only seven times was registered in Germany in July months ground freezing – excluding mountain stations.
Last night in Rotenburg on the Wümme , at 2.9 degrees, there was even an absolute station record for July. The reason for the Bibber night in the middle of July is cold polar air, which flows far to the south and progresses to the middle of Germany. Since the night was very clear, especially in the middle of Germany, the air near the ground could cool down even more.
This was especially noticeable from Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia to Saxony.
In Quickborn, for example, the night on Thursday (04.07.2019) was the coldest in 20 years.

#FREEZING #TEMPERATURES IN #JULY? #RECORD #HEAT MAKES WAY FOR #FROST IN EASTERN #NETHERLANDS
Summer seems to have temporarily fled the Netherlands. Where last week saw record high temperatures, residents of Eastern Netherlands woke up to a frost covered landscape on Thursday. At the former air base in Twente, a minimum of -1.6 degrees Celsius was measured – a record low for July, according to Weerplaza.
This is only the seventh time since Dutch meteorologists started taking temperature measurements at a height of 10 centimeters in 1971 that there has been frost in the Netherlands in July. The last two times were on 9 and 10 July 2015, and before that on July 1st, 1984.
The rest of Thursday will not be exceptionally cold, with maximums ranging from 19 degrees along the coast to 24 degrees in the southeast. Morning sunshine will give way to clouds as the day progresses, but no rain is expected.
Friday is expected to be sunny, with maximums ranging between 19 degrees in the northwest and up to 27 degrees in the southeast. The weekend will be cooler, with some showers expected on Saturday, according to the weather service.
