Weather Warning 12 July 2023

What should we do in case of high temperatures (heat)

Due to the emergency weather forecast from EMY, we should carefully follow the instructions from civil protection


Avoid sunbathing and stay in shady and cool places away from crowded places.
Avoid heavy physical work especially in places with high temperature, apnea and high humidity.
Avoid walking for a long time or running under the sun.
Prefer light, comfortable and light-colored clothes made of natural material to facilitate the ventilation of the body and the evaporation of sweat. Choose a hat that ensures good head ventilation. Wear black or dark-colored glasses with a special coating that protects against the sun's reflection.
Make sure your diet consists of light and small meals, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. Limit fat.
Drink plenty of fluids (water and fruit juices). If you sweat a lot, add salt to your food. Avoid alcoholic beverages.
Take lukewarm showers during the day and, if necessary, place wet covers on the head and neck.
Take care of your family members suffering from chronic diseases (respiratory, cardiovascular, etc.). Consult their treating physician for the application of special instructions and for those taking medication.
Avoid long journeys by public transport when the heat is very high.
