SCANDAL: Tuttlingen heat wave – where the temperatures explode!
INCREDIBLE and SHOCKING – the heat wave is hitting Tuttlingen with full force! A sensational 37.2 degrees was measured on July 2nd! The inner cities are not only heating up faster, but are turning into real ovens! Concrete and the shocking absence of green space are the culprits bringing us to our knees in this heat wave! According to [Schwäbische](https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/tuttlingen/tuttlingen/heisser-tipp-hier- leben-sichs-kuehler-3757103) there are temperature differences of a shocking two to four degrees between different parts of the city. While we sweat, people at higher altitudes can get some fresh air thanks to breathtaking winds of up to 50 km/h!
The invisible heat islands that make the city boil! Information from DWD shows that these urban heat islands are created by creeping development and human emissions. IMAGINE: On cloudless and windless nights, temperatures in cities can be up to 10 Kelvin higher than in the surrounding area! Incredible, right?
Heat and Health – A Deadly Combination!
The frightening effects of this urban heat are alarming! A lack of cooling down at night is harmful to your health - especially older people, children and people with previous illnesses! More and more people are suffering from heat stress, and the risk of health problems is increasing immeasurably! Klima-Wissen emphasizes that energy consumption from air conditioning and fans continues to rise and puts the power grids under pressure!
There are shocking solutions to get the catastrophic temperatures under control: Renquishausen and Böttingen show how it's done! In Renquishausen, mayors report temperatures that are simply bearable at 28 degrees, when in Tuttlingen it is 31 degrees - what an enviable life! Meanwhile, we recommend relaxing hikes in nature to escape the heat horror!
The dramatic temperature differences
- Böttingen: 911 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel
- Renquishausen: 898 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel
Both communities live under the cooling effects of higher elevations! The fascinating hikes of between six and 8.4 kilometers in these green oases are not just a dream, they are a vital retreat for stressed-out city dwellers!
The future of cities hangs by a thread! The most important elevations in the Tuttlingen district, such as Lemberg (1015 m), Klippeneck (approx. 1000 m) and the Dreifaltigkeitsberg (987 m), are the last bastions against the heat!
The dramatic appeal: We must take precautions before it is too late! Let's find ways to combat the heatwave! The answers lie in the hands of urban planning! Desealing, tree planting and greener infrastructure could be the keys to cooler city living! The future is now - let's act before the temperatures rise beyond measure!
