Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - The heat has a firm grip on us! A new heat wave began in Rhineland-Palatinate at the weekend, which is scheduled to strengthen this week. According to SWR , the temperatures on Monday strive between 30 degrees in the Eifel and up to 35 degrees in Ludwigshafen.

In the night of Friday, we can also look forward to a pleasant cooling to 19 to 14 degrees, followed by repeated rainfall. But the risk of forest fires is currently increasing, especially on Tuesday when warning level 5 could be reached.
ecological alarm signs
The development of nature in this heat period is also worrying. June was particularly dry, with only 59 liters of precipitation per square meter, i.e. below the long -term average of 76 liters. As a result, the Rhine and Moselle have exceeded the critical temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, while Saar and close are just below. Environment Minister Katrin Eder has already proclaimed the first of four warning levels due to these ecological balance.By the way, the current situation is not an isolated case. How ZDF is not spared the south of Europe. In Italy and France, there is a warning of extreme heat. In Italy, extreme heat warnings are of great importance for 21 cities, including Rome and Milan. As here, too, the authorities are concerned that even healthy people can be affected by the heat. Recommendations for protection: Avoid sunshine between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and use climate air.
The great heat meets Europe
European space has increasingly struggled with heat waves in recent years. According to Statista , temperatures in Europe rise faster than in other regions of the world. From 1980 to 2020, the number of days increased with high heat load. In 2022, Europeans experienced the hottest temperatures since the weather records.
Especially southern Europe is hard affected by these extreme weather situations. In Croatia, rising temperatures and forest fires have been terrifyingly close in the past few days. Many houses on the south coast have already been destroyed, while in Greece the fire brigade also has to fight angry flames.
The climatic changes present society with enormous challenges. The increasing risk of heat waves and droughts not only has ecological effects, but also far -reaching economic consequences, such as for agriculture and energy supply.
let's take a warm look at - and we hope for a sooner cooling!
