Heat alarm in Mainz: DWD warns of extreme temperatures!
On Wednesday, June 24, 2025, an intense heat wave awaits us in Mainz. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued an official heat warning effective from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. If temperatures feel like they are above 32 degrees Celsius, this is a strong heat stress that can be not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. Especially at a time when temperatures barely cool down at night, it is important to take measures to tolerate the heat.
Experts recommend avoiding the heat, drinking enough water regularly and keeping indoors cool. These preventative steps are essential because inadequate rest at night often affects your well-being during the day. Older people, pregnant women, children and people with chronic previous illnesses, such as this, are particularly at risk Robert Koch Institute (RKI) highlights.
The challenges of climate change
The current heat wave is not just a short-term phenomenon. Due to climate change, rising temperatures are expected in Germany in the long term. The RKI points out that it is increasingly time to develop effective heat protection measures. Good monitoring is just as important as preventative information. We are working on heat protection together with various ministries and institutions in order to provide the population with the best possible information and protection.
The data collected on heat stress and health effects is not only important for the current situation. They are also essential for defining strategies to better address health risks in the future. In Germany, several authorities, including the Federal Ministry of Health, are working on heat protection and monitoring the current situation. This happens in both national and international contexts.
The appeal to the population is clear: be careful and protect yourself from the heat! Follow the advice of the experts because well-being must always come first. Take good care of yourself and maintain contact with loved ones, especially those who may not be able to protect themselves.
