Casting: Small cars in particular heat up quickly
Studies by researchers from the University of Georgia have shown that the temperature in a closed car rises by about four degrees in just five minutes and by up to seven degrees in ten minutes. Specifically, this means that if a car is in the blazing sun for about an hour, the temperature in it climbs from 30 to over 50 degrees and more. Small cars should heat up particularly quickly, it is said.
Babies and toddlers in particular can quickly suffer a circulatory collapse. After all, their bodies are not yet properly regulating heat. This means that they cannot easily adapt to higher ambient temperatures.
