Milky sky in BW: Canada forest fires ensure unstable weather!

Baden-Baden, Deutschland - The sky over Baden-Württemberg is currently showing itself in a milky, cloudy robe. This is due to the devastating forest fires in Canada, which have become the worst in the country's history. According to the current reports of ZEIT ONLINE this air flow is expected to stop until Friday and be accompanied by pollution. Despite the cloudy sight, however, a lot of sun is expected, which could increase the temperatures in the Upper Rhine moat on Thursday to up to 32 degrees and even up to 34 degrees on Friday.

The forest fires have already devastated over 15 million hectares of land, as reported to the Tagesschau . This number far exceeds the space losses of earlier years, which indicates a "new quality" of the fires, which often burn beyond the control threshold. The combination of inadequate forestry, such as monocultures and short dry periods by climate change, contributes to the dramatic increase in these disasters.

weather forecast and risk of thunderstorm

The weather forecast for the coming days promises an exciting mix of hot temperatures and possible storm. The Südkurier already reports a clear retention for Saturday After the predominant sunshine, showers, thunderstorms and local storms with maximum values ​​up to 35 degrees are announced. With these thunderstorms, gusts of wind are also not excluded that could provide additional thrills.

The current weather phenomena are not only a challenge for the environment, but also raise questions about air quality. The German Weather Service (DWD) recommends moving outside despite the contaminated air and will only be given a detailed assessment of air quality at a later date. However, the smoke from Canada, which has reached to Europe, remains in higher atmospheric layers and has so far not shown any acute health risks for the region.
