Germany has recorded its hottest night, with temperatures reaching 29.4 degrees Celsius, the German Weather Service (DWD) said on Sunday.
The record was set in Kubschütz, in eastern Saxony, according to preliminary data.
Germany has broken a series of heat records in recent days during a heatwave affecting much of Europe.
The DWD says extreme weather events such as prolonged heatwaves have become more frequent in Germany as a result of climate change, with data showing an increase in the average number of days above 30 degrees.
