Fog chaos in Constance: Safety in road traffic at risk!

in Constance is currently a striking weather phenomenon. The fog has a firm grip on the city and ensures a mystical but also challenging atmosphere. While the landscape sinks in the haze and the view is severely restricted, the reason for this weather conditions is not hidden. It is the interaction between the Lake Constance water and the air.

Andreas Walter, a meterologist at the German Weather Service, explains that the fog occurs especially in the early autumn hours when the water of Lake Constance is warmer than the air above. The water vapor that can arise condenses and forms water droplets that we perceive as a fog. This means that the view often fades while the viewing views can change over the day. An example of this is the Imperia, a well -known landmark in Constance that only slowly appears from the fog to shine in full splendor a short time later.

The fog, reinforced by an "exchange of weather", will probably stop in the coming days. A lack of wind contributes to the fact that the fog cannot dissolve. Walter emphasizes that such weather conditions are not uncommon, especially in damp regions. This phenomenon was particularly pronounced on October 15: while consistency was in the fog, the sun was already shining in Friedrichshafen. The differences in the weather conditions between these two cities can become an exciting experience for the residents and visitors.

For road traffic, however, the dense fog means difficulties. This affects not only drivers, but also pedestrians and cyclists, who are often overlooked by the poor view. The police would like to counteract these risks and recommend wearing bright and reflective clothing. Nicole Minge from the press office of the Constance police headquarters emphasizes the importance of making themselves visible. Pedestrians and cyclists should pay attention to adequate equipment, which also include reflective materials and light lights.

In particular, drivers must be vigilant. The municipal utilities report that the car ferries on Lake Constance have to drive slower for security reasons, which can occasionally lead to slight delays in the timetable. Although the municipal utilities emphasize that the main connections are not affected, the fog may certainly lead to additional obstacles on the streets.

Statistics shows that there were exactly 198 accidents due to fog in the past 13 years in the area of ​​responsibility of the Constance police headquarters, with only seven of them rangers. This illustrates how important it is to be particularly careful in fog to avoid accidents. "In the dark season, everyone should not only pay attention to suitable equipment, but also for forward -looking driving," adds Minge.

With the cooler temperatures, the fog Constance has a firm grip, and you can only wait and see how the weather conditions will develop in the coming days. It is to be hoped that the view will be better and that the dangers for all road users will lose weight. In such conditions, it is most important to keep an eye on your own security and prepare yourself accordingly. For more details on this secular phenomenon and the current weather conditions, regular updates from the weather services are recommended to remain well informed.
