The DWD warns of increased heat exposure and advises all people, if not absolutely necessary, not to spend the hottest hours of the day outside and not to expose themselves to direct sunlight. This particularly affects children, the elderly and people with other stressors such as illness or pregnancy. In addition, the heat leads to an increased risk of forest fires up to and including Sunday, especially in northern and eastern Bavaria.

Literally it says on the side of the weather service among other things:

"Up to a height of 600 meters a strong heat load is expected".

In the case of Munich, this means in concrete terms: "Due to the reduced nightly cooling, additional pollution is to be expected, especially in the densely built-up urban area of ​​Munich." The warning applies above all on Friday between 11 am and 7 pm.
