The Scorching Hot German Summer of 1911

1911 in Germany saw a hot, dry summer that lasted from spring until well into September
German blog site lokalgeschichte here looks at the German summer of 1911, which was exceptionally hot, dry and sunny. It disproves the previously widespread idea that Central Europe’s heat waves are something new and due to more CO2 in the atmosphere.

Although temperatures in the summer of 1911 were very high in places (up to 40 C in Chemnitz), no new records were broken. The year 1892 had similar or even higher values (41.5C in Reichenhall). The most remarkable feature of the summer of 1911 was not the absolute maximum temperature, but the duration of the hot spell and the persistent tendency towards dry and warm high-pressure weather, which lasted from spring until well into September.
In 1911, Germany saw extreme drought, particularly in western and central Germany. In Berlin, for example, only about half of the normal precipitation fell between April and July, and only a seventh in August. Such an event occurring today would have climates alarmists blaming CO2. But, as 1911 shows, weather extremes are nothing new.
