Preventive measures to prevent heat
To ensure that the coming hot days are less stressful, preventative measures are required. Adequate hydration of at least 2 to 3 liters of water per day is essential.

The right clothing also plays a role: light, airy clothing with long sleeves and trouser legs is advisable, as is the use of sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, hats and sunglasses.
Direct sunlight should be avoided, especially at lunchtime. It makes sense to retreat to cooler, shady rooms and only ventilate when the outside temperature is below the inside temperature - ideally in the morning or at night. If you feel nausea, headaches or dizziness, you should not hesitate and consult a doctor immediately.
The future of heat protection measures

Collaboration between authorities, such as the Federal Ministry of Health and the German Weather Service, is crucial to provide effective strategies and information. Future heat waves require a watchful eye and preventive measures so that no one is left behind in the summer heat.
In the coming days it is important to be particularly careful and take the protective measures mentioned seriously. Stay healthy and protect yourself and your loved ones from the effects of the heat!
