Heat high on the march: up to 35 degrees in Baden-Württemberg awaited!

municipal preparations for the heat wave

In Baden-Württemberg there is a small heat wave that could increase the temperatures up to 35 degrees. These high temperatures not only require personal precautions, but also special precautions at the local level.

The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts cloud -free weather and lots of sun for the coming days. Already on Monday there will be almost no clouds in the sky, which initiates the beginning of hot days. "The coming days will be very warm and many people will try to cool off, especially on the water," explains a DWD expert.

First reactions of the citizens and city administrations

In view of the upcoming heat, many city administrations have already taken measures to help the citizens. Swimming pools and lakes are more open to offer people a place of refreshment. In addition, those responsible in the municipalities are asked to set up free drinking stations to prevent water shortages. "We have to make sure that every access to cool water has, especially for our older citizens," said a city spokesman.

effects of the heat on the environment

Environmental challenges are also associated with the heat wave. The air humidity is expected and there is already indications of thunderstorms from Wednesday. "The air will then be really steamy, which can cause storm. We also have to think about how we protect our plants and gardens," explains an environmental scientist.

expected cooling and weather developments

After the midsummer, which will reach its high on Tuesday and Wednesday, the DWD indicates that the weather situation will change soon. On Thursday, showers and thunderstorms could move across Baden-Württemberg, which could go hand in hand with stormy gusts. "With the change in the weather, it will certainly be cooler, the 30-degree brand can then no longer be reached," said a meteorologist.

outlook and meaning for the population

This weather period is not only a short summer highlight, but also an important time for citizens to think about their personal heat plans. It also reflects a larger trend of how weather extremes intensify. It is therefore important to be prepared and adhere to the recommended protective measures.

At least some relief brings that the temperatures go back to the weekend. The DWD speaks of "more pleasant" conditions, which does not reduce the anticipation of summer, but sharpens awareness of heat events and its consequences.
