What a hot day! July 2, 2025 will be entered into history as the hottest day of the year in Germany, with record-breaking temperatures up to 39 degrees Celsius, such as the Allgäuer Newspaper reported. People were particularly challenged in the Allgäu, because here too the temperatures rose to over 30 degrees. In Leutkirch, Memmingen and Kaufbeuren, even the highest temperatures of 2025 were registered.

The reports of the weather services are alarming: in Oberstdorf 30.1 degrees, 32.1 degrees in Kempten and 32.4 degrees in Sigmarszell. This is only a small part of the heat that Germany is currently experiencing. Experts predict that we are dealing with a massive heat wave that could possibly even exceed the 40-degree mark. In fact, the ZDF . Among other things, older people and chronically ill are particularly at risk here. At such temperatures, even the climb to the acropolis becomes a risk, since from 43 degrees in the shade there is a ban on tourists.

The urbanization of the cities is also particularly dangerous: the heat and asphalt are reinforced there, which leads to a further accumulation of heat days. The German Weather Service defines a heat wave in Germany as at least three consecutive days over 30 degrees, which we can enjoy in the coming days. In order to counteract health risks, there are some simple recommendations: drinking a lot, avoiding direct sunlight and, above all, keep an eye on endangered people.

The causes of the heat wave

How does this extreme weather situation come about? Heat waves are created by stable high pressure locations that block cool air masses. This week a high -pressure area over Western Europe is expected to attract hot air from North Africa. This not only leads to enormous temperatures, but also to a dramatic increase in water temperatures in the Mediterranean, which are above the long -term average. A term that often falls in this context is the "Heat Dome", which describes blocking high -pressure areas, the heat as in a pot.

A look at the historical heat waves shows that the intensity and frequency of such events are reinforced by climate change. For example, over two thirds of the heaviest European heat waves had been unnoticed before 2000 since 1950. Experts warn that half of the European population could suffer from high heat stress in summer by 2050.

in this sense, stay cool and make sure that you take care of yourself and others well in this ruthless heat!
