Nation's thermostats malfunction, leading to extreme heatwave: country faces a heat excess
Heatwave Hits Germany: Extreme Temperatures and Health Warnings
Germany is currently experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach up to 38 degrees in some regions, according to weather experts. This heatwave is particularly severe in the south of the country, where cities like Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Freiburg, and Mannheim will experience extremely high temperatures.
The heatwave is expected to last at least until the weekend, and even in the north and east of the country, temperatures will easily reach 30 degrees. Due to the many concrete surfaces, buildings, and streets in these cities, they will heat up particularly strongly, and there is hardly any cooling expected at night.
This year's summer may last well into autumn, and there could even be a second heat wave in September. The midday sun and heated afternoon hours pose a great strain on the circulatory system, and older people and young children are particularly affected by the heat.
To cope with the heat, people are advised to stay in the shade or indoors as much as possible, and physically demanding activities should be done in the late evening hours. More rainfall is expected to give people a brief respite at the end of August, but it is not expected to cool down significantly until the end of the month.
Research institutions such as the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) are involved in studying climate adaptation and related health challenges in Germany. Studies show that anthropogenic climate change has substantially increased the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, which can have serious health effects on the population, including heat stress and related illnesses.
Some people describe the current weather as making our country an oven. The heatwave follows a cooler and wetter July, and it is a reminder of the need to adapt to climate change and its effects on our environment and health. It is important for everyone to take precautions to stay safe and healthy during this heatwave, and to follow the advice of weather experts and health authorities.
