Heat wave in Bremen: How to stay cool at up to 36 degrees!

Bremen, Deutschland - The next few days are for Bremen and the surrounding regions are extremely heat. According to forecasts, the temperatures can reach up to 36 degrees Celsius, which causes many people to look for cooling. Free baths, lakes and air -conditioned cinemas attract numerous visitors who want to escape the oppressive warmth. In these facilities there are temperatures of a pleasant 20 to 22.5 degrees Celsius. Animal parks also offer a welcome change for families and animal lovers with their cool animal houses. In addition, churches with their thick walls and shady trees invite you to enjoy a moment of calm and coolness.

in the north German coastal regions and on the islands it stays warm, but the heat is not quite as oppressive as in the inland. However, the rising water temperatures in the inland waters are concerned about ensuring that they increase the risk of algae flowers and bacteria. Nevertheless, most bathing water in the north federal states are open, and there are currently no bathing bans in Bremen, which invites the population to cool off in the water. Only the Achterdieksee has received a "poor" classification, but can still be used.

required protective measures

The heat -related burden is a serious topic during this time, especially for groups in need of protection such as older people, chronically ill and toddlers. From a temperature of 25 degrees, the risk of health impairments increases drastically, so that more than 2.5 to 3 liters of liquid are recommended per day. Mineral water as well as herbal and fruit teas are ideal, while sugary lemonades and alcohol should be avoided better. In addition, the diet should be light and fresh, with a lot of fruit and vegetables to relieve the body and compensate for the sodium losses by sweating.

At temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, it is also important to use the living spaces only in the cooler morning and evening hours to ventilate and cool baths or moist cloths for refreshment. For sports and other efforts you should choose the cooler times of the day. Heat cramps can arise from dehydration, which is why electrolyte -owned drinks are considered helpful. It is also advisable to supply pets sufficiently with water and to move walks into the cool hours. If there is signs of overheating such as dizziness or headache, you should react immediately, and an emergency doctor may be necessary in an emergency.

school children and the lessons

As if that wasn't enough, schools also have to react at these temperatures. In Bremen and Lower Saxony, school lines can end the lessons prematurely at temperatures above 25 degrees. However, there are no uniform regulations, which is why the decision must be made individually by each school. This is particularly important for teaching staff and pupils that suffer in the oppressive heat of the classroom or on the way to school. Employers are also responsible for creating suitable working conditions, and must take appropriate protective measures from 30 degrees Celsius.

In order to counteract the increasing temperatures and their effects, in Lower Saxony is also called for a conscious handling of water, especially in the district of Nienburg. Here it is important to act carefully and protect resources.

The heat wave not only brings challenges, but also the opportunity to experience refreshing and healthy days through the right measures. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection also warns of increased UV radiation and recommends protective measures in order to protect children and adolescents from health risks. So in the coming days it says: keep your distance from the heat and the cooling green areas and water points in full splendor!
