Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from Germany.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Germany is expecting a very hot Tuesday with temperatures reaching between 30 and 38 degrees Celsius, though coastal areas will remain cooler at 25 to 30 degrees. The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) warns of a significant weather shift bringing severe thunderstorms. While some regions will start the day with clear skies, showers and thunderstorms are expected in the northeast and east as early as the morning. By the afternoon, strong thunderstorms may develop across many regions, bringing risks of hail, heavy rain exceeding 25 liters per square meter, and hurricane force gusts between 90 and 120 kilometers per hour. Additional storms may arrive from the southwest in the evening. Temperatures are expected to drop to between 16 and 22 degrees during the night to Wednesday as storms move northeast. In a separate development, the Romanian army blasted a rock in a branch of the Danube river to increase water flow to the Cernavoda nuclear power plant, which faced shutdown due to drought. The plant relies entirely on the Danube for cooling water.
