Cool places in Solingen: How to survive the heat wave!
A hot summer is just around the corner! This Friday and Saturday, the German Weather Service is warning of extreme heat stress in Solingen, with temperatures that could exceed 30 degrees. This can not only impair performance, but can also lead to health problems. The city of Solingen has therefore put together important recommendations to help you survive the hot days healthily. According to that Solinger Tageblatt Older people and risk groups are particularly affected.
The city advises people to avoid sporting activities between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on hot days. Instead, lukewarm showers or arm and foot baths can provide refreshing cooling. When walking outdoors, it is important to wear UV protection, sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the strong rays of the sun. Another essential point is adequate fluid intake: at least two liters of water should be drunk every day, even if you don't feel thirsty. Recommended drinks are tap and mineral water as well as unsweetened drinks, explains Solingen news.
Heat protection in case of symptoms
If you have signs of heat stroke, such as a severe headache, severe vomiting, sudden confusion, or a body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius, medical attention is needed immediately. In such cases, the emergency number 112 should be dialed immediately. The Federal Government points out that children, older people and chronically ill people are particularly at risk.
To support this, the city has published a map of cool places in Solingen. This map can be found on the participation portal “SOLINGEN TALKS WITH” and can be continually updated. Anyone interested can contact Ilona Komossa from the City Nature and Environment Department to find out more about these cool retreats. You can reach her at 0212 / 290 – 6544.
