Attention, sun: High UV radiation in the Uelzen district on June 22nd!
On June 22, 2025, residents in the Uelzen district must pay particular attention to their sun exposure. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued an official weather warning for this region, stating that UV radiation levels will reach high levels today. According to news.de, the UV index is high from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which is why appropriate protective measures are recommended.
The current weather situation in Uelzen is with few clouds and a pleasant 25°C with a humidity of 42%. The wind blows at a speed of 12 km/h, which emphasizes the summer freshness. Looking at the hourly weather trends, it is clear that temperatures will rise to up to 31°C by the afternoon, with a constant risk of precipitation of 0%.
Important protective measures
The yellow weather warning makes it clear that careful behavior is required when exposed to the sun. The DWD recommends avoiding prolonged stays in the sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you do go outside, you should take the following protective measures:
- Lange Kleidung wie ein sonnendichtes Hemd und lange Hosen tragen
- Hochwertige Sonnencreme mit Lichtschutzfaktor 30 verwenden
- Sonnenbrille und breitkrempigen Hut aufsetzen
High UV values are mainly observed when there is little cloud cover in spring, which often catches the population unprepared. The DWD explains on dwd.de that the risk of sunburn is greatly underestimated, especially on days with high UV radiation levels. High exposure to UV radiation is also due to the thinned ozone layer, which leads to an increase in UV irradiance near the ground.
Technological supports
The German Weather Service relies on modern technologies to make precise forecasts. The predictions for the UV index and the sunburn-effective UV dose are based, among other things, on hourly data from the global weather forecast system ICON and the European model COSMO-EU. Information on aerosol optical thickness is also provided by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Further details on this topic are available at dwd.de.
In summary, it is important to exercise caution in the Uelzen district today and observe the recommended protective measures in order to avoid health risks from UV radiation. The sun that dominates our weather this summer can bring both joy and challenges.
