Heat wave for the festival of lights: temperatures up to 35 degrees in Heilbronn!

Heilbronn, Deutschland - Summer shows itself in full splendor in Heilbronn and Hohenlohe! As reports voice.de, the temperatures reach astonishing 35 degrees Celsius on the upcoming weekend. The German Weather Service (DWD) had a lot of ringing out the alarm bells in advance. On Saturday we expect a pleasant 30 degrees, but on Sunday the heat will really strike.

The cause of this is a warm air mass that reaches us from the Sahara. Of course, this is a dream for sun -hungry people, but caution is advised! The DWD warns especially for Sunday when UV radiation rises to levels 9 to 10. This means that after only an hour in the sun you could risk sunburn, especially for those who are sensitive.

health risks and recommendations

So what should you do to get through the heat healthy? The DWD recommends lingering four walls between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. if possible. Anyone looking for the free one should not forget to drink regularly and apply a lot. And after Sunday evening could still come with a warm 20 degrees Celsius, you can also think of a cool night - a so -called tropical night awaits us. A cold front will be expected on Monday that may bring shower and thunderstorms.

in Bavaria it looks similar. At the end of the Pentecost holidays, a heat wave with high temperatures and a high risk of sunburn are also expected. As reported [Mittelbayerische.de] (https://www.mittelbayerische.de/nachrichten/bayern/hitze-sonne-sonne- dry-hohe-uv-ahten-ferienwochen-in-bayern-18896864), temperatures up to 37 degrees are even possible on Sunday! The south in particular cannot be ripped off, the highest danger level is even achieved in the Allgäu high alps.

forest fire risk in view

With the heat, of course, the risk of forest fires also increases. In certain regions of Bavaria, the forest fire hazard index is predicted at level five. The Minister of Forest has already urged the grilling near the forest to avoid carelessly detached scours. If you are traveling in the forest, you should definitely consider the ban on smoking.

The heat should also not be underestimated for health. The latest analyzes of the [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/daten/umwelt-gesundheit/gesundheit-riensiken- Derheste) have shown that there has been a worrying increase in hot days and tropical nights in recent years. These developments are closely linked to climate change and have already led to increased mortality in the past.

With this information in your head, enjoy the weather, but pay attention to your health. Protect yourself from the sun and make the best of the hot days!
