Weather & TrafficSaturday 8 August - Tropical temperatures of 36°C

The five past years have been Europe's hottest in its history. Luxembourg might as well just be some new country in South America with these tropical numbers. Call it San Luxemburgo, then?

The weekend kicks of with a heavy 25-27°C in the morning, hot enough to roast your croissants on a terrace table in the sunshine. The max will be reached in the late afternoon, with possibly 36°C in the south. Don't bother lighting the BBQ because that meat will roast itself nicely with evening temperatures of...are you ready...31°C. Ouch.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, stay sane.
