Warning before Hell summer 2025: Extreme heat threatens on the Mediterranean!

In times of extreme weather, the Federal Foreign Office warns of trips to popular holiday countries on the Mediterranean for the summer of 2025. Italy, Spain and Greece are particularly affected. Temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius are expected in Greece, which is a significant danger to vacationers.

The situation has worsened in recent years. Heat waves repeatedly led to droughts and forest fires around the Mediterranean. In Greece, the authorities not only deal with extreme heat, but also with water shortages, which particularly affects the popular Greek islands. The parliament already advises on measures to control this critical situation.

important recommendations for travelers

The Federal Foreign Office offers a number of recommendations for travelers. This includes drinking enough water and the use of sunscreen, especially on hikes and excursions. Physical exertion during the midday heat should definitely be avoided. The use of light, light clothing made of natural materials is advised to better endure the heat.

Babies, children, seniors and people with chronic diseases are particularly at risk. So that these groups are protected, vacationers should always charge a cell phone and have a power bank with us in order to use the emergency number 112 in Europe in the event of an emergency.

Current weather warnings and developments

The phenomenon of extreme weather events is not only shown in Greece. In Italy, people have been suffering from considerable lack of water for several weeks, especially in the middle and southern regions and on Sardinia, where the environmental authority "ISpra" has imposed a medium warning level for drought. In Sicily the highest alarm level.

France is also spared from the extreme heat, but has to struggle with the risk of forest fire in southern France and in Corsica. Meteorologists warn of a possible "hell summer 2025" in southern Europe and Germany. Despite these prorogative forecasts, there are experts who consider such prediction as premature.

travelers who want to visit the affected regions should always be informed about the current developments. The website meteoalarm.org provides helpful information about weather races in Europe.

Overall, vacationers in the popular Mediterranean countries in 2025 should remain aware and take the given indications seriously to ensure their security and health. These warnings of the Federal Foreign Office, which are underpinned by various weather experts, are a clear indication of how the climate increasingly affects our travel plans.
