Heat wave and thunderstorms at the weekend: Osnabrück is facing extreme weather!
People in Osnabrück can expect warm temperatures next weekend. On Saturday we can expect a remarkable 33 degrees, time for sunshine and perhaps a refreshing ice cream. But we should keep our eyes and ears open, because from the afternoon onwards things will be turbulent: thunderstorms, rain showers and strong gusts of wind are forecast, as are these NOZ reported. This is not happening without reason, as an official heat warning is in effect this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
How do you best protect yourself in such extreme conditions? The German Weather Service gives important recommendations: avoid heat, drink enough fluids and protect yourself from the blazing sun. This makes it easier to survive the hot day.
Events in heat and rain poker
It will be particularly exciting for visitors to the Fairytale Festival in the castle courtyard and at the town festival in Georgsmarienhütte, both of which take place on Saturday. In such weather, good sun protection is a must, don't forget!
The thunderstorm front will then reach the region in the evening hours, although hail and squalls cannot be ruled out. Further lightning and showers are expected on Sunday as temperatures drop to a comfortable 23 degrees. The sky is becoming cloudy and fewer rays of sunshine are to be expected. The Heat warnings provide information that even without additional warnings, sensitive people can suffer from heat stress.
How heat affects health
The health risks of a heat wave should not be underestimated. The Robert Koch Institute highlights that vulnerable groups such as older people, pregnant women, children and people with chronic illnesses are particularly affected. Climate change also influences our summers, which is why effective heat protection is required. A lively exchange between different ministries and institutions is essential.
The weekend in view: If you take care of your health in good time and have emergency measures in mind, you can make better use of the warm but also stormy days. So, always stay hydrated and retreat to the shade if possible!
