12 hot days so far, 3rd of Dresden's 78 summers.

Its hottest single day, 39.6 °C, is the hottest this station has recorded by this date. A count and a peak are different claims and neither borrows the other's rank.

Hot here means 31.4 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year is counted to 8 August, so a part-finished summer is never set against complete ones. That threshold is Dresden's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.

4 nights so far that never dropped below 20 °C. No multiple is quoted here. Dresden averages about 0.6 a year, and dividing by a base that thin produces a large number and no evidence. 24 of the 42 cities are gated this way.

The hottest day of Dresden's summer, to the same date, with 2026 marked. The previous best was 38.2 °C in 2022, the dot on the drop line below it, and a typical summer here peaks at 32.7 °C.
