The burning temperature: The thermometer will mark 40 degrees Celsius

Kosovo's National Public Health Institute (IKSHPK) has come up with some recommendations and advice on how citizens can be protected from heat, urging them to avoid going out and not perform serious activities during the heat of the day.

“over the day, when temperatures are higher outside, close windows and cover them with curtains or materials that prevent the sun's rays”, says in one of the recommendations IKSHPK has published on social networks.

Throughout the region, meanwhile, firefighters are facing warnings of more fires as the heat wave continues to intensify.

Tens of fires were managed in our country on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a series of dwellings were engulfed in flames these days in southern Croatia, where some areas are still facing the consequences of fires and residents have been forced to evacuate over the weekend.

From Zagreb's capital to the north, as far south as Dalmaci, some regions will be at the highest level of warning of fire danger and health problems for residents from the heat, authorities said.

And warnings have also been issued in Serbia due to extreme temperatures, as temperatures reached 38 degrees in Belgrade on Wednesday, yet one day later they are expected to be 39 degrees Celsius.
