Upcoming Scorching Temperatures in Thuringia: Peak Heat Forecasted for Thursday - Thuringia to Endure Heat Peak on Thursday
The upcoming days are set to be hot in Thuringia, with temperatures predicted to reach up to 36 degrees Celsius on Wednesday and potentially even higher at 37 degrees Celsius on Thursday. The hottest temperatures are expected along the border with Saxony-Anhalt, according to DWD meteorologist Sebastian Balders, making this the hottest day of the week.
Even the high elevations of the Thuringian Forest are likely to see temperatures reach the 30-degree mark. As the first days of the new school year coincide with this heat wave, schools are preparing for the challenging conditions.
While specific heat-related guidelines for schools in Thuringia during a heat wave were not immediately available, German states generally recommend several measures. These include ensuring adequate hydration for students by providing enough drinking water, adjusting physical activities, recess, and outdoor lessons to cooler times of day or limiting strenuous exercise, providing shaded or well-ventilated classrooms, allowing flexible dress codes, and monitoring students for heat-related symptoms and implementing cooling breaks.
However, it's important to note that exact official guidelines from Thuringia's education or health authorities during heat waves would need to be obtained from local government or school board communications, as they may issue specific protocols or advisories.
In the meantime, schools may grant heat-related exemptions to students. The decision to do so lies with the respective school management. Rain is not expected for the time being, so it seems the heat wave will persist.
As always, it's crucial to stay informed and follow any official guidance to ensure safety during this period. If you're looking for more targeted sources or official Thuringian state government websites to find the precise heat-related school guidelines for heat waves, I'd be happy to help with that.
