Regarding the environmental concerns, the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, given the current prolonged hot and dry weather conditions in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, which might contribute to a higher risk of wildfires.
Moreover, the ongoing warm and sunny weather with minimal precipitation forecasted by the German Weather Service (DWD), might make weather-forecasting for potential future heatwaves more challenging in these regions.
