Extreme weather caps: heat wave and rain chaos in the north!

Hannover, Deutschland - What makes the weather so unpredictable in northern Germany? Weather expert Dominik Jung has submitted his assessments of the latest developments. According to current reports, the weather in the north has proven to be extremely inconsistent, and old forecasts no longer seem to be right. Germany has seen extreme drought and drought recently, followed by heavy rainfall and high humidity. According to Jung, experts speak of a "brutal heat wave", which is now being replaced by moisture. These unpredictable weather changes raise questions: What do we have to expect for the coming weeks?

An interesting forecast of the weather shows that Sahara dust from North Africa will move to Germany via Spain and Portugal. As a result, the temperatures increase and dust particles influence our atmosphere. For the east of Germany, hardly or no rain will be predicted until the end of June, which continues to promote the drought. According to Weather expert Jung, the coming July should also be "clearly too dry". The average temperatures in the north could rise to 25 degrees, with isolated tips up to 30 degrees. While the coastal regions of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea offer a welcome cooling, the south of Germany, especially in Saarland, looks much hotter - meteorologists even expect up to 35 degrees.

drought: a worldwide phenomenon

drought not only affects the north of Germany, but is a worldwide problem. According to the Federal Environment Agency, drought is a state in which there is inadequate water availability for people, animals and plants over a longer period of time. These conditions are the result of a complex interaction of weather and water availability. The world organization for meteorology defines drought as a longer absence or lack of precipitation. With the forecast climatic changes, the risk of drought will continue to increase and affects 2.3 billion people in water -stress -plagued regions worldwide.

The effects can be serious, especially on agriculture, health and energy supply. In order to counteract this, adaptation measures are necessary, such as the management of droughts and the use of natural -based solutions. Local knowledge transfer also plays a crucial role. The challenge of climate change is becoming increasingly clear because extreme weather events such as droughts and heat waves have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s.

A look into the future

We also have to show the indirect effects of the drought. An estimated 733 million people all over the world are currently suffering from hunger, while two billion people suffer from malnutrition. These dangerous conditions are further difficult by extreme weather events. Welthunger aid emphasizes how crucial it is to fight this hunger, while at the same time the situations are worsening due to climatic changes. Extreme weather events now make up 80 percent of all global disasters and present our society in front of immense challenges.
