Heat warning in Bavaria: How to protect yourself from the summer heat!

The warning is in effect between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., when temperatures will be at their highest.
Why is this important? At such temperatures there is a strong heat load that can be felt even at altitudes of up to 200 meters. Already on Thursday there will be a so-called “intermezzo” with temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees, but on Friday the heat will really hit, followed by an equally scorching hot Saturday.
