HITZEWELLE IN DEUTSCHLAND: „Vielleicht Tausende Menschenleben gefährdet!“ Meteorologe schlägt Alarm!

HEATWAVE IN GERMANY: "Perhaps thousands of lives at risk!" Expert sounds the alarm! Germany is experiencing an exceptionally early and prolonged heat wave. Meteorologist Dr. Karsten Brandt warns of temperatures approaching or even exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, particularly in the southwest and west of the country. The persistent heat is putting a strain on people, infrastructure, and buildings alike. The elderly and those with chronic illnesses are especially vulnerable. Brandt speaks of a "thermal storm situation" and points to the influence of human-induced climate change, in addition to a stable high-pressure system. At the same time, he tempers expectations regarding the old wives' tale about Seven Sleepers' Day, but sees indications of an overall hot summer in Europe.
