Heat wave isn’t +30°C. This is what climate change deniers want people to think.
A heat wave is when the temperature are higher on a certain amount of time. According to the IPCC, it’s “a period of abnormally hot weather, often defined with reference to a relative temperature threshold, lasting from two days to months”, and according to the Heat Wave Duration, and to the World Meteorological Organization, it’s “five or more consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature surpasses the average maximum temperature by 5 °C (9 °F) or more”.
I didn’t do a ton of research but that seems pretty warm for October. I’d expect the average to be way lower (12° for the red dots maybe) with an occasional warm day or two.
I like this site for checking the climate in specific regions. This shows 13° as the average day-time temperature in october. If the DWD forecast is to be believed Lübeck might get up to 18-20° in the coming one and a half weeks. So while it’s not the mid 20s it’s still way above average.
On the other hand, for sure make the best of it and keep the grill out. Looks like fantastic weather for it!
Talk for yourself. The last week and the coming week here in Switzerland are exactly what the article is describing. Around half the days were 24°+ and even the lower days are around 17-18°. That’s definitely not usual for late September and early October.

If it makes feel any better, in Rome yesterday and for a few more days it’s going to be +30C indeed.

I just looked it up, the average daily high in Berlin should be around 13°C in October. So you’re basically spot-on.

27° this afternoon in Paris…
25° - 28° for southern Germany. Normally at this time we put away summer clothing. I guess that has to wait now.
25° in the southern part of NL here…
I was working yesterday, driving a truck, and I had to keep the arico blazing all day.

We started with a fairly chill summer in July/early August, but now we have summer temps expanding into October
