Heat wave threatens: DWD warns of dangerous summer heat in NRW!
Oberhavel, Deutschland - Summer feeling in North Rhine-Westphalia-after a rainy Pentecost weekend, the region is facing a decent heat wave. According to the German Weather Service (DWD) will reach up to 33 degrees on Friday, June 13th. The reason for this is high pressure that brings warm air out of the southwest. But not only the temperatures rise, the warnings are also loud.
The south and the middle of North Rhine-Westphalia are particularly affected, where the DWD issued an official warning period for heat from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. These temperatures are a special burden for the elderly and people in need of care, who, as it is said in the warning, can develop health problems. It is therefore advisable to avoid the heat, drink a lot of water and keep the interiors cool.heat actors in view
But what can we do to protect ourselves from the effects of the heat? The Federal Minister of Health declares that in Germany countries and municipalities are responsible for creating heat measures and heat action plans. These plans are aimed at better preparing and protecting the population for heat phases. Well thought -out measures that were developed by the federal and state governments in 2017 include concepts for urban design and more city green.
The heat action plans should take into account the specific events of the municipalities and offer targeted solutions, such as information campaigns or special processes in health and care facilities. It is gratifying to see that more and more federal states and cities are implementing or planning these plans.
A look into the future
But the heat not only brings summer mood, but also challenges. A tropical night is expected for the night from Friday to Saturday, while the temperatures do not fall below 20 degrees. This is called the first short heat wave of the year. So be on your hat, because after the heat wave on Saturday, strong thunderstorms can threaten with heavy rain and gusts of wind, while the temperatures can sometimes increase up to 34 degrees.
A subsequent drastic drop in temperature on Sunday brings the maximum in high -rise sites to a maximum of 19 degrees. A truly changeable weather shows that summer has its ups and downs!
