Summer heat in the Günzburg district: Looking for tips to cool down!

The summer heat has us firmly under control. On Wednesday, residents in the Günzburg district can look forward to temperatures of up to 33 degrees. Such values ​​not only bring rays of sunshine but also challenges. Especially when there are numerous festivals, celebrations and sporting events on the program. So what can you do to escape the oppressive heat? [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/krumbach/tipps-zum-abkuehlen-so-geniessen-sie-die-sommerwärme-im-landkreis-guenzburg-110101271) asks its readers for creative cooling tips.

The editorial team calls on you to send in suggestions, be they classic or unusual.

Practical tips for cooling down

But the editorial team isn’t just looking for creative ideas. Even simple activities can provide a little refreshment. How about a dip in the outdoor pool, a delicious ice cream from the ice cream parlor or a trip to the Kneipp facility? Not only do these options offer welcome refreshment, they can also be found right on your doorstep, as Freizeitmonster points out.

However, recent years have shown us that summer heat has become more intense, not least due to climate change and increasing development in cities. While school graduates and athletes are busy in high temperatures, it is even more important to pay attention to your own health. This is particularly true for people who do not have access to air-conditioned rooms, as only a few households in Günzburg have such a facility.

Health tips

The Federal Environment Agency recommends avoiding physical activity during the hottest times of the day between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Instead, it is advantageous to postpone shopping and exercise to the cooler morning and evening hours. Regularly airing the living spaces at night and early in the morning also helps to cool down.

For people who have to beat the heat, there are simple methods to lower body temperature. Cooling foot baths or the use of body lotions and thermal water sprays are ideal for this. Whether for humans or animals, spending time in parked cars should be kept to a minimum to avoid overheating. And in the event that medication is needed, it is advisable to find out in good time about the correct storage conditions, as they can lose their effectiveness in the heat.

The summer heat presents us with many challenges, but with the right tips and a little planning you can enjoy this time. Thrive and stay healthy!
