For this reason, the former German record of 42.6 °C / 108.7 °F measured on July 25, 2019 at Lingen (Lower Saxony) is not listed. It was cancelled in December 2020 by the responsible station operator DWD (German weather service). [35]
The Brocken is a place of extreme weather conditions. Due to its exposed location in the north of Germany its peak lies above the natural tree line. The climate on the Brocken is like that of the alpine 1,600–2,200-metre (5,200–7,200 ft) zone or even that of Iceland. This is due to its short summers and very long winters, with many months ...

Foehn winds, and also the so-called Bohemian Wind may occur during certain specific southerly weather conditions.
The two areas are linked across a deep valley by the double-decker Vanoise Express cable car, and with 70% of the skiing above 2,000 meters, it makes for a fairly snow-sure spot in a typical winter.
