This work introduces a novel approach for data-driven model reduction of time-dependent parametric partial differential equations. Using a multi-step procedure consisting of proper orthogonal decomposition, dynamic mode decomposition and manifold interpolation, the proposed approach allows to accurately recover field solutions from a few large-scale simulations. Numerical experiments for the Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard cavity problem show the effectiveness of such multi-step procedure in two parametric regimes, i.e.~medium and high Grashof number. The latter regime is particularly challenging as it nears the onset of turbulent and chaotic behaviour. A major advantage of the proposed method in the context of time-periodic solutions is the ability to recover frequencies that are not present in the sampled data.
