In Germany, temperatures have faced sharp rises accompanied by warnings for heavy thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds. In the Czech Republic, a significant weather shift is approaching as a cold front moves through the country. While some areas, particularly in eastern Moravia and Silesia, may initially reach 30 °C, rapid cooling is expected. The frontal passage is predicted to bring rain, showers, and localized thunderstorms, with rainfall potentially reaching 25 mm in some areas, providing moisture to drought-affected regions. Following these storms, daytime highs are forecast to drop to between 17 °C and 22 °C, with wind gusts reaching approximately 55 km/h before stabilizing toward the weekend. In Slovakia, extreme heatwaves have prompted government action, including the distribution of air conditioning units to state hospitals. Recent weather has been characterized by intense heat followed by severe storms. The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ) issued second-degree warnings for the Komárno and Nové Zámky districts, where temperatures were expected to exceed 35 °C. A cold front moving in from the west is expected to bring thunderstorms and strong wind gusts, with speeds of 60 to 80 km/h and isolated gusts up to 100 km/h in the Danubian Lowland. This shift is expected to bring a significant temperature drop to approximately 25 °C. ## Claims - The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute issued a third‑level heat warning for southwest and central Slovakia on 3 August, forecasting temperatures up to 38 °C.
