The effects of the heat wave
A look at the last few years shows that heat waves have become more frequent in Germany. According to an analysis by the German Weather Service, heat-related extremes have increased since the 1980s. The longer periods of heat also pose a challenge, especially for older people or people with previous illnesses. Heat periods are defined as times when daily maximum temperatures reach over 30 degrees. This uncertainty requires special caution because high temperatures can have serious health consequences. Symptoms such as heat cramps, sunstroke or heat stroke can occur. Information about this is provided, among other things, by: DWD.
The DWD recommends paying attention to a few important points in times of extreme heat. From drinking enough fluids to avoiding direct sunlight to cool, shady places, everything should be considered to combat the heat. The weather situation is not only a challenge for nature, but also for human health. In addition, it is advisable to keep the windows closed to keep the heat out and check the current weather warnings.
A heat wave like the one we are facing now is always an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sunny days. But stay vigilant and protect yourself and your loved ones from the effects of the heat - because the coming days not only bring sun, but also the possibility of health problems.
