Germany () has been suffering for days from a historic heat wave with temperatures reaching 41ºCsomething unusual. Some German infrastructure is literally melting. That is the reason why The Leizpig city tram has not been in service for more than two days.
In this regard, the tram operator has detailed that the trains cannot circulate because the heat has caused it to mix in some points with the concrete on the roads.
Another demonstration that Germany is facing an extraordinary heat wave is the decision made by the Berlin Police: use for cool down the neighbors los water cannons which are usually used for disperse protesters.
Specifically, the Police have taken to the streets two anti-riot vehicles with the capacity to pour water. Obviously, the vehicles have been configured so that the jets are much softer than those launched at demonstrations.
As reported vehicles with water cannons have been directed to emblematic places in the German capital, such as the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Place o el Reichstag buildingso that both residents and tourists could take a break from the heat.
Beyond the high temperatures during the central hours of the day, one of the problems that German citizens are experiencing is that, in many places in the country, The heat hardly stops at night either.. This makes it very difficult to rest and, furthermore, causes thermometers to quickly shoot up again to very high values as soon as the sun rises. For example, during the night of last Saturday, in Kubschütz in eastern Saxony, the night temperature did not drop below 29.4ºC.
