Over the weekend temperatures in Germany hit 40\u2070C, and everybody has been, quite rightly, out enjoying the Hitzewelle<\/strong> while it lasts. The reason it is so hot in Europe at the moment is because the hot Saharaluft<\/strong> (air from the Sahara desert) is blowing in our direction, causing hei\u00dfe Tage<\/strong> – and tropische N\u00e4chte<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

I love having Spa\u00df<\/strong> in the sun as much as the next person, but it\u2019s always good to be reminded of the Gefahren<\/strong> that come with a Hitzewelle<\/strong>, and the things you can do to stay safe during it! So why not learn them in German? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As you can see I\u2019ve mixed Deutsch und Englisch<\/strong> here but omitted the German translations, hoping you\u2019ll understand the words by their context. Tell me what you think of this method, as if you like it I\u2019ll do it more often!<\/p>\n

Tipps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trink viel Wasser!<\/strong><\/span> – Experten<\/strong> say we\u2019re supposed to drink zwischen 1,5 und 2 Liter Wasser pro Tag<\/strong> on a normal day, but on hot days we should drink deutlich mehr<\/strong>! Alkohol<\/strong> and kohlens\u00e4urehaltige Getr\u00e4nke<\/strong> should be avoided, as these cause Dehydratisierung<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Erfrische dich zwischendurch<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Whether it\u2019s a refreshing Fussbad<\/strong>, a k\u00fchles Tuch<\/strong> on your Stirn<\/strong>, or whether you go all out and splash around in a Brunnen<\/strong>, a bit of refreshment during the day is an ideal way to keep cool!<\/p>\n

Sei vorsichtig, wenn du Sport treibst<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Listen to your K\u00f6rper,<\/strong> and only do what you can in terms of Sport<\/strong>. Manche Leute<\/strong> cope besser<\/strong> in the Hitze<\/strong> than others. Schwimmen<\/strong> is obviously the ideal sport for hei\u00dfe Tage!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trage deinen Hut! \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>Everybody should wear a Hut<\/strong> to protect their Kopf,<\/strong> but it is especially wichtig<\/strong> for Kinder,<\/strong> and those with a Glatze<\/strong>. Doing so will prevent Sonnenbrand<\/strong> on the Kopf<\/strong>, and will keep the Kopf k\u00fchl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creme dich ein! \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>Vielleicht das Allerwichtigste!!<\/strong><\/em> Choose Sonnenschutz<\/strong> with a high UV factor, so that you can protect your Haut<\/strong>. You want to avoid schmerzhafter Sonnenbrand<\/strong> at all costs! If you don’t protect yourself, you are at risk of getting Hautkrebs<\/strong> or other Hautsch\u00e4den<\/span><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruhe dich aus \u2013<\/strong><\/span> Hohe Temperaturen<\/strong> can cause M\u00fcdigkeit.<\/strong> Have a Nickerchen<\/strong> for 20 Minuten<\/strong> if you can, to restore your Energie<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Zieh etwas leichtes an<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 L\u00fcftige Kleidung<\/strong> are ideal for this Wetter.<\/strong> You definitely shouldn\u2019t wear anything too eng<\/strong>. Hell<\/strong> colours are also better than dunkel<\/strong> colours, as they reflect the Sonnenlicht<\/strong> and keep you k\u00fchl<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Trage eine gute Sonnenbrille \u2013<\/strong><\/span> Remember, your Augen<\/strong> need Schutz<\/strong>, too! Eine gute Sonnenbrille<\/strong> will protect your eyes vor starken UV-Strahlen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
