Summer return: Gießen expects several hot days!

The long -term forecast shows a persistent heat period: "We can count on seven to eight heat days, and the warm phase could last until September," explains Meteorologist Jung. Due to the weather, this summer could not only be a short, but an extensive heat and sun summer for watering and medium-sized.

Already now it turns out that the last summer days can be used intensively. The changeable course of the weather in recent weeks has given many the opportunity to enjoy the summer outside. Now that another upswing is predicted in the temperature, it is time to sew the last rays of the summer sun and revive the outdoor activities.

a summer that does not want to end

The developments show that summer in Gießen not only promised a few warm weeks, but could also be a sustainable weather phenomenon. With the upcoming weather change, many get the chance to enjoy the remaining days of the warm season to the fullest. Therefore, the coming Monday is not only a striking date for the weather forecast, but also an invitation to record the last summer days before autumn is found.

In recent years, an increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves in Europe has been observed, which is associated with the changes in the climate. The ice in the Arctic melts faster than ever, which can lead to a destabilized atmosphere and extreme weather phenomena. According to a report by the World Climate Council (IPCC), such weather extremes will most likely be more likely in the future. The effects are already noticeable for Germany. Summer have become hotter and often have a lower amount of rain, which can also affect agricultural income. Further information can be found on the website of the ipcc .

heat waves and their effects

heat waves not only influence the weather, but also in-depth social and health effects. Older people in particular and people in particular are more susceptible to the consequences of extreme temperatures. The likelihood of heat strokes and other heat -related diseases increases exponentially. Studies show that during heat waves the emergency rooms in hospitals are very busy, which also contains the health systems. The need to be better prepared for such climate extremes is becoming more urgent. For example, World Health Organization (WHO) published special guidelines for reducing health risks in heat waves.

In addition to the health aspects, the economic consequences must also be considered. Extreme heat has been shown to have negative effects on agricultural yields because many cultures are sensitive to temperature extremes. A decline in harvest yields can lead to increased food prices and endanger the economic stability of regions that depend heavily on agriculture. Statistics of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) show that extreme weather conditions have already led to significant loss of yield in certain growing regions in recent years.

forecasts for climatic development

Numerous climate models indicate that Germany must continue to adapt to extreme weather phases. Summer in particular could get warmer and drier while the winter is milder. The German Weather Service (DWD) has shown in its long -term forecasts that such climatic changes are associated with an increasing probability for heat waves. This not only requires individual adaptation strategies, but also political measures to reduce CO₂ emissions and to promote sustainable energies.

In summary, it can be said that the effects of heat waves extend far beyond the immediate weather. A comprehensive consideration of the health, economic and environmental factors is necessary to counter the challenges of climate change and take suitable measures.
