Extreme heat warnings in Baden-Württemberg: Tips for your health!

For the people in Baden-Württemberg, an extremely hot weekend is imminent. The German Weather Service (DWD) has announced a strong thermal load for Friday, June 13, which will be noticeable up to 600 meters up to 600 meters. This heat warning concerns several counties, including the Lake Constance district, the Enzkreis and the city of Pforzheim, as well as the Hohenlohe district and many other regions in our beautiful state. The areas listed are particularly affected, and the adjacent federal states such as Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate must also expect similar conditions. According to Schwäbische, this heat load is a serious risk for health.

Elderly and people in need of care in particular are heavily burdened by this extreme heat. The temperatures not only score during the day, but it is also recommended to pay attention to the nightly cooling, since these will be reduced in densely built -up urban areas such as Freiburg. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the climate change can be expected to increase on such days of heat in Germany. The Robert Koch-Institut already observes the effects on human health, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women and people.

recommendations for heating heat

In order to protect health, the DWD publishes some important recommendations for the population: It is advisable to eat enough fluid, even if no thirst is felt. Direct sunlight and physically exhausting activities should also be avoided. Cooling for body and living spaces is also of great importance to counteract the effects of the heat. These information is not just a reaction to current heat warnings, but part of a comprehensive heat provision plan to alleviate the consequences of extreme hot days.

In addition to the acute heat load, long -term strategies and good monitoring are important in order to address the future challenges of climate change. A close cooperation of different authorities, such as the RKI with the Federal Ministry of Health and other institutions, is essential to develop and communicate effective protective measures.

FAZIT

While the hot weekend is getting closer, all Badeners should deliberately prepare for the upcoming temperatures. The health risks should not be underestimated. Stay informed, protect yourself from the heat and pay attention to your fellow human beings, especially the vulnerable. Because one thing is certain: good advice is worth gold in this heat.
