A first-degree meteorological warning is in effect from Friday, August 14, at 1:00 p.m. until Saturday, August 15, at 8:00 p.m. The probability of the phenomenon occurring was set at 85 percent.
On Friday, the maximum temperature is expected to range from 28°C to 31°C. It will be even warmer on Saturday, with temperatures forecast to reach from 32°C to 35°C. At night, the minimum temperature is expected to range from 14°C to 17°C.
The warning may be updated.
Forecasters point out that heat may cause a deterioration in well-being, dehydration and an increased risk of heatstroke. Particular caution should be exercised while working outdoors and during physical activity.
It is worth remembering that high temperatures can affect not only health but also the functioning of infrastructure. During heatwaves, building and vehicle interiors overheat more often, while prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to faster exhaustion of the body.
How to stay safe during a heatwave?
During the hottest hours of the day, between noon and late afternoon, it is advisable to limit time spent in direct sunlight. Unless it is necessary, it is best to remain in cooler rooms, cover windows on the sunny side and regularly air out the apartment in the morning or late evening. When leaving home, wear loose, light-colored clothing, a hat and use sunscreen with UV protection.
Proper hydration is equally important. During heatwaves, drink water regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty, and avoid alcohol and excessive amounts of caffeinated drinks. Children and animals must also never be left in parked cars—the temperature inside the vehicle can reach dangerous levels within just a few minutes. It is also worth paying attention to elderly and solitary people, who may need help during the hottest periods.
