Leipzig is compared against 1991-2020, not 1961-1990. This thermometer starts in 1864, so the earlier window every other city uses would cover only its warmer final years here, and a figure against that would look like every other city's while meaning something weaker. 1991-2020 is complete for this station, so it is the one shown. The count and the rank are measured on the full record and stand.

Hot here means 31.7 °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 counted over the whole window; this season is complete, so no year is cut short. That threshold is Leipzig'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.
3 nights that never dropped below 20 °C. No multiple is quoted here. Leipzig averages about 0.4 a year, and dividing by a base that thin produces a large number and no evidence. 28 of the 54 cities are gated this way.
The hottest day of Leipzig's summer, with 2026 marked. The previous best was 38.4 °C in 2019, the dot on the drop line below it, and a typical summer here peaks at 33.0 °C.
