When temperatures in Berlin rise above 30°C, the city turns into an oven. Streets, trains, and apartments heat up fast. With a few smart habits, you can stay comfortable, safe, and even enjoy the summer days.
Morning is the best time to be active. Run errands or commute before 9 AM, while the air is still cool. Save energy and stay indoors during the afternoon peak heat.
Tip: Avoid asphalt at noon – parks can be up to 5°C cooler.
Drink water regularly, even without feeling thirsty. Best choices:
Public transport can get very hot. Choose less crowded lines and take short breaks. U-Bahn is often cooler than buses.
Check on seniors, kids, and pets. Keep pets hydrated and avoid hot sidewalks.
If you feel dizzy or weak, move to shade, drink water, and cool your body. Call 112 if symptoms persist.
Berlin heatwaves can be challenging, but with a little planning and awareness, you can turn them into enjoyable summer days. Check checkwetter.de daily for temperature warnings and cooling tips.
