Record 4th Heatwave For Germany; Local Temperatures Of 38C Or Slightly Higher Expected
22 July 2019 (The Local) – Temperatures could exceed 38C in some parts of the Bundesrepublik this week during a record fourth summer heat wave. On Thursday temperatures around Germany will spike to up 38C – reigning in the fourth heat wave of the summer.
Due to climate change, says Latif, there is double the amount of Hitzewellen in Germany as in 1980. “That is not normal anymore,” said Mojib Latif, a climate researcher at the Helmholz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel, told the Augsburger Allgemeine. “It’s everything other than normal.” […]
Thursday is likely to be the hottest day of the week, say meteorologists, with temperatures around the country rising to between 33 and 38C around the country, and potentially even hotter in some places.
Staying cool amid the heat
In light of the heat wave, which according to current forecasts could last at least until the weekend following this one, it’s important to drink a lot of water during the day and keep surroundings at a lower temperature. “Keep your home cool, because a restful night’s sleep helps to cope better with the heat of the day,” DWD recommends.
