Heat wave in Brandenburg: Expect 35 degrees on Sunday! Protect yourself!

The temperatures are rising and summer is at its best! Next Sunday, June 22, 2025, Brandenburg expects temperatures of up to 35 degrees Celsius. Under the influence of a high pressure area, it not only remains dry, but also very warm - the hottest day of the year is approaching. This forecast reports that the German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a heat warning alerting citizens to the “severe heat stress” that is looming over the next few days. Clear skies are expected over the region and in urban areas, night-time cooling will be severely limited due to construction.

What does the meteorologist advise? She recommends, especially sensitive people, to stay in air-conditioned rooms or to escape to Heligoland for a while to escape the heat. Older people, pregnant women, children and people with previous illnesses in particular are advised to avoid the midday sun and drink plenty of water - water is the best choice, not alcohol.

Potential dangers of heat

Heat stress poses a serious threat not only to leisure activities, but also to health. According to hdz.de, the DWD takes various criteria into account when issuing heat warnings, including daytime and nighttime heat stress. Even if no warnings are displayed, vulnerable people are more sensitive to the heat.

It is also very relevant that Germany can expect an increase in hot days in the coming decades due to climate change. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) is taking a closer look at the health consequences of heat. They are concerned about the increase in heat-related excess mortality and point out the need for effective and preventive heat protection, especially for heat-polished city centers.
