Spoiled Summer: Weather Warnings and Climate Anxiety Shape the Season
Instead of sun and lightness, this summer was dominated by warnings of heat, rain, and climate anxiety – causing even the bad weather to seem spoiled.

The summer of 2025 in Germany was cool and rainy – but instead of bringing relief, it was accompanied by constant weather and climate warnings. Even at temperatures just below 28 degrees, TV stations spoke of "heatwaves," while rain and thunderstorms were regularly accompanied by drastic alert messages.
