What about 40 degrees do to us and to what surrounds us? – ROS current

It’s getting very hot in the southwest. Tuesdays are expected to reach 40 degrees in Rhineland-Palatinate on the Rhine and Moselle – in Baden-Württemberg in the electoral Palatinate and on the Kaiserstuhl up to 38 degrees are expected. Cities get particularly hot in summer, explains Jürgen Kropp, head of the Urban Transformations research group at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. This is due to a certain constellation of materials in the city that store heat particularly well. In an interview with SWR Aktuell presenter Andreas Böhnisch, he reveals what it does to our body and how we can take care of ourselves.
