Mühldorf is preparing for heat wave: 35 degrees and more expected!

Mühldorf am Inn, Deutschland - sweaty times are imminent: From the weekend (June 21st and 22nd), temperatures over 35 to 38 degrees Celsius are expected in Germany. The city of Mühldorf is also preparing for the extremely hot weather. According to Innsalzach24 , this heat wave is defined as at least three consecutive days with temperatures above 28 degrees Celsius. The German Weather Service (DWD) urgently warns of health risks associated with this extreme heat.

The Federal Government has already worked out four “heat protection plans” for such cases, with the concrete implementation in the hands of the federal states and municipalities. Mühldorf installed a drinking fountain at the town square in April 2025 and continues to focus on consciousness formation instead of continuously air -conditioning. The urban buildings usually remain unnecessary, with ventilation causing a little refreshment in the morning. In addition to air-conditioned shops, there is also a water through the water and a Kneipp basin to cool off during the heat.

measures against the heat

Support also comes from the new UV index plates, which are set up in outdoor pools and kindergartens. These not only indicate the intensity of the UV radiation, but also provide valuable tips for sun protection. In the district of Mühldorf, social media is also warned when extreme temperatures can be expected to inform the citizens in good time.

But what to do if the heat really presses? Experts of Deutschlandfunk Recommend drinking water fountain in pedestrian zones, parks and shopping arcades as central measures. This is already being implemented in Mühldorf. Advice from general practitioners plays an important role, especially for risk groups such as older people, pregnant women, children and chronically ill. After all, heat can lead to serious health problems, including confusion, strokes or even heart attacks.

climate change and heat protection

Climate change research also draws attention to the increase in heat days. According to Tagesschau there were already 50 heat days in Germany last year, which is a direct consequence of global warming. The study by World Weather Attribution shows that this increase without climate change would have been far less. The city and the district of Mühldorf take the problem seriously and work on a heat action plan to minimize the health risks even more effectively.

In addition, urban planning measures such as the greening of roofs and the removal of floors are planned to reduce the temperature in urban areas. The construction of new drinking water wells is also becoming more and more a norm. In Mühldorf there is currently no city map with cool places in sight, but individual contact points enable the citizens to escape heat.

It remains to be hoped that the next sunny days will be an unforgettable summer experience despite the heat with the right measures and a watchful eye on health.
