Seit Tagen herrscht in Texas eine extreme Hitzewelle. Die Temperaturen liegen bei über 100 Grad Fahrenheit und Experten warnen vor Gesundheitsrisiken.

Besonders ältere Menschen, Kinder und Haustiere sind von der Hitze betroffen und sollten sich vor der Sonne schützen. Es wird empfohlen, viel Wasser zu trinken und sich in kühlen Räumen aufzuhalten.

Die Feuerwehr warnt zudem vor der erhöhten Gefahr von Waldbränden aufgrund der trockenen Bedingungen. Die Bewohner werden dazu aufgerufen, vorsichtig mit offenem Feuer umzugehen und keine Zigarettenkippen wegzuwerfen.

Die Behörden haben bereits Notfallpläne aktiviert, um die Bevölkerung vor den Auswirkungen der Hitzewelle zu schützen. Es wird auch dringend empfohlen, Haustiere nicht im Auto zurückzulassen, da dies tödlich enden kann.

Die Hitzewelle wird voraussichtlich noch einige Tage anhalten, daher ist es wichtig, die Warnungen der Experten ernst zu nehmen und sich angemessen vorzubereiten.
