Heat Stress in Parts of Austria

Even though temperatures will drop slightly in the coming days, the heat stress will persist in large parts of Austria. This can lead, for example, to an elevated body temperature, weakness, and fatigue, and in extreme cases, to confusion and dizziness. A possible cause of these symptoms is dehydration. It is recommended that you ensure you drink enough fluids and avoid unnecessary exertion during the hottest part of the day. Seek out shaded and cool places. Pay special attention to children and vulnerable people around you.
