Hot days in Bavaria: DWD warns of extreme heat stress!
A hot weekend is coming! The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of extreme temperatures that can reach up to 36 degrees in some regions of Bavaria. Particularly high temperatures are expected in the districts of Bad Kissingen, Main-Spessart and the city of Nuremberg. This heat wave not only has an impact on comfort, but also poses health risks.
As the DWD clearly emphasizes, the heat warning applies between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. During this time, particularly sensitive people such as older people, pregnant women and children should protect themselves well. To prevent health problems, the DWD recommends drinking enough water and keeping indoor spaces cool. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) also points out that rising temperatures due to climate change will increase health protection requirements in the long term. Vulnerable groups are particularly at risk and need effective heat protection.
Weather forecast for the coming days
On Sunday it will continue to be hot and dry across Bavaria, with temperatures between 25 and 31 degrees. Take the opportunity to get outside, but remember the high UV index - sunburns are inevitable!
The current weather conditions show a strong area of high pressure and stormy winds that can reach gusts of up to 70 km/h in the Alps. At night we expect it to cool down a bit with lows between 17 and 11 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms are possible on Monday and temperatures will drop below 30 degrees, the first relief after the heat wave. However, it remains muddy and humid.
Risk factors in the heat wave
In addition to the obvious inconveniences, the heat also has serious health effects. The RKI in particular has reported on heat-related excess mortality and emphasized that good monitoring is important. This not only helps to develop health strategies, but also to educate the population about the health risks.
A joint commitment from various ministries and authorities is essential to protect the health of the population and take effective preventive measures. The exchange between the DWD and the RKI and other institutions is central, as is international cooperation within the framework of the national health institutes.
The coming days not only offer a heat wave, but also an exciting opportunity to address the issue of heat and health. Stay healthy, drink plenty and enjoy the warm days - but wisely!
