🔥 Forest Fire Risk Rises Early Next Week 🔥
A brief cool-down with rain had lowered the forest fire risk, but it's heading back up with the approaching heatwave, starting Sunday. Many areas could hit Forest Fire Warning Level 5 on Tuesday, Jörg Rakete, meteorologist at DWD, announced.
DWD offers the Forest Fire Danger Index (WBI) for regions facing high risk at the moment. The WBI ranges from 1 ("Very Low Danger") to 5 ("Very High Danger"). Factors like strong wind, low humidity, and strong sunlight contribute to WBI spikes.
Fields and meadows are highly flammable due to Rhineland-Palatinate's dry June weather.
