- The average water temperature of the Rhine is projected to rise by up to 4.2°C above 1990–2010 levels by the end of the century.
- An increase of 1.1 to 1.8°C is expected by mid-century, particularly affecting southern sections from Switzerland to Karlsruhe.
- Days with water temperatures above 21.5°C may grow from 32 to 106 annually, increasing heat stress and vulnerability in aquatic organisms.
- Mitigation is challenging in the main river, though shaded refuges and ecosystem restoration might limit warming in smaller tributaries.
If critical temperature thresholds are exceeded for extended periods, it can lead to ecological damage.— Tanja Bergfeld-Wiedemann, a biologist from BfG, warns about the consequences of rising water temperatures.

- Germany has warmed by 2.5 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times, exceeding earlier assessments.
- The German Weather Service adopted the Loess method to better capture short-term temperature variations and recent acceleration.
- Some international analyses still mix old and new methods, while countries like Austria and Switzerland apply Loess routinely.
- Rising temperatures have caused more frequent heatwaves, droughts, and an increased risk of wildfires and heat-related deaths.
The climate system is indeed not linear.— Andreas Walter, climatologist at DWD, explains the complexity of climate changes.
