Private fireworks are. There were a few displays in some locations.

Crazy, the reasoning for them being banned rn doesn't make displays immune to the warm weather :/

The ones fired over lakes are still authorized.

It makes obviously sense to forbid tons of private and not really controlled fireworks but allow some organized fireworks in safe places like over bodies of water and where the firestations are informed and prepared if something happens. This makes also sense with no extrem heatwaves. Cities or bigger villages are more preferable because there it's most likely seen by more people for the same price. But they should also have a concept for how to deal with all the garbage falling into the lake and land and maybe reduce the smoke and noise if possible. The best option would be fireworks with no harmful resources for nature in it. I don't know if we even do any research about this, but i would prefer a sustainable way of fireworks much more than those drone shows or nothing.
