(near Stockholm) After the hottest year on record, 2023, scientists have feared that 2024 could be even worse.

Not only in Greece: also in other Mediterranean countries!

At shade temperatures of 30 to 35 degrees, as they are currently prevailing in Greece, it can also be 50 degrees or hotter in the sun, says emeritus professor of medicine Hanns-Christian Gunga, author of the book “Deadly Heat”: “This extreme exposure is a completely underestimated factor.” In such situations, the body temperature can rise towards 40 degrees within less than two hours, especially during exertion. The risk of heat stroke is then correspondingly high. Dehydration is also a particular risk because it restricts blood flow to the brain and can lead to disorientation in certain cases, according to the expert.

Many people are not aware of how sensitive we are to heat – and how small the tolerance limit is . Especially at the beginning of a summer and for people who have travelled from cooler areas, such a heat wave is dangerous. But even people from warmer areas have only limited physical adaptability.”

The weather forecasts for mid to late JUNE 2024 already show that it will be hotter here as well:
