Official temperature observations for Munich on May 31 confirmed a daily maximum of 29°C under mild westerly flow and partly cloudy conditions that permitted strong afternoon insolation. Ensemble forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and German Weather Service had converged on a 27–29°C range in the final 48 hours, aligning trader consensus with the observed peak. This outcome reflects direct instrumental data rather than models, leaving minimal room for revision unless post-processing adjustments at the primary reporting station alter the certified high. Unlikely challengers include localized sensor discrepancies or reclassification of the exact maximum hour, though such changes rarely shift recorded values by more than 1°C.
